IK2213 Network Services and Internet-based Applications 7.5 credits

Nätverkstjänster och internetbaserade tillämpningar

The course provides practical and theoretical knowledge about design and implementation of Internet-based applications.

The course consists of two parts: lectures and a project. The lectures cover the following topics:

- Principles for design of distributed applications: client/server, peer-to-peer, multicast-based applications.

- Design and implemantation of network systems of different types, such as packet switches, servers, server clusters, “Content Delivery Networks”, mobile systems and sensor networks.

- Network programming: socket programming, principles for event-driven programs and multiprocess programs. Representation of data types, etc..

The project part consists of number of projects (four to five). In each project, the goal is to design and implement a protocol, service, network function, etc, based on a given requirement specification. Projects are performed in groups of two persons, and should result in a written report and a working solution.

Learning outcomes

The goal is to give deep understanding of how Internet work and are designed. In addition, the course provides insights into how protocols and services can be designed and implemented on different types of network systems.
