Learning outcomes

After the course, the student should be able to:

  • describe how the global Internet works from a routing perspective
  • describe routing algorithms, including Dijkstra and Bellman-Ford
  • configure networks using a multitude of routing protocols, including RIP, OSPF, IS-IS, BGP, MPLS and PIM
  • program low-level packet lookup and switching
  • in detail explain how link-state and distance-vector routing protocols work and be able to assess their differences
  • explain in detail how the BGP inter-domain routing protocol works, and in particular how it selects routes
  • setup and configure several kinds of networks, including enterprise and operator networks
  • explain how intra-domain and inter-domain routing interact, as well as how redistribution and aggregation of addresses works
  • explain the network architecture for IP multicast and how IP multicast is distributed within a network
  • describe and configure label-switching and traffic engineering (such as MPLS/RSVP) within a routing domain
  • explain how the individual routing domains exchange traffic and how traffic is controlled between domains
    using policies
  • describe security issues with the current Internet architecture.
