¨Person(s) in charge :

Laurent CIARLETTA, Associate Professor, laurent.ciarletta@mines-nancy.univ-lorraine.fr

Keywords :  IP networking, protocols

Prerequisites : Notions of programming, operating systems.

Objective : Acquire a general understanding of the global functioning and underlying protocols of an IP network, in order to be able to assess its inherent limits and performances, thus being able to use it in a higher level application context.

Program and Contents:

This course covers a theoretical study of the TCP/IP stack. Practical sessions concentrate on
network configuration for routing, client-server application programming and deployment
of TCP/IP services.
Main Themes
• Networks: introduction, types of networks, protocol, layered stack
• TCP/IP: protocol family (Ethernet, ARP, IP, ICMP, TCP, UDP), multi-casting, routing
• Client/Server programming
• Network services: DNS, HTTP, SMTP, NIS, LDAP, SNMP

Abilities : 

Levels

Description and operational verbs

Know

Fondamental concepts of networks: protocols, applications to physical layers, routage

Understand 

Physical and architectural constraints of networks systems. evaluation and advisement of the quality of service (QoS), technical, scientific, economic, and social stakes

Apply 

Networks configuration, from nodes to route, writing and conception of applications (customer-host, P2P, deployed), project with the course Operating Systems

Analyze
