The Internet has become a vital factor in human society. Many popular
applications like Youtube, Facebook, or Line will not be able to operate
properly if there is no Internet. The course provides a comprehensive
understanding of how Internet applications work from a system and
application-oriented perspective, such as how data is transmitted
(encoding/decoding), routed through different geographical areas (routing
and switching), and secured (security). The course also covers advanced
networking topics such as resource allocation and multicast or mobile IP,
which are crucial for building scalable network applications such as video
streaming services and enterprise network applications (Internet of Things,
smart cities). Finally, cutting-edge computer networks technologies such as
Software-defined networking (SDN) and programmable networks are also
discussed.
