Description:
Students learn technologies of the modern Internet. links of the IP technology to the modern communication networks, mechanisms for multicasting and real-time communication, more efficient mechanisms of virtual channels, and the new IPv6 architecture. They will understand the issues of monitoring and management of large computer networks. They are introduced to the technologies of interconnection networks for HPC systems.
