Assumed Knowledge: ZEIT7101 or equivalent and ZEIT7104 or equivalent.

This course aims to further the student's knowledge of Internetworking with TCP/IP. In particular, it examines advanced IP addressing, routing with advanced routing protocols and network security.

The additional information below reflects the most recent offering and may be subject to change.

On Successful completion of this course, a student is expected to be able to design and implement an optimized network. To achieve this, a student needs to be able in theory to
1. know that network address space is a resource that need to be used efficiently
2. know that routing is an expensive operation and there are a number of methods that can optimize its operation
3. know the advantages and disadvantages of various routing protocols and their suitability;
and in practical to be able to
4. subnet a given address space and use hierarchical address to reduce the cost of routing and make a network scalable;
5. set up a network that can automatically allocate IP address to the computers/PCs connected to the network by using DHCP server.
6. use interior routing protocols, e.g. RIP, EIGRP, OSPF to build a small network; and use exterior routing protocols, e.g IS-IS and BGP to connect a number of networks together.
