During Autumn 2007, we will look at protocols and architectures related to mobility management, session management, authentication, authorization and accounting (AAA) services and quality of service (QoS).

The purpose is that the participants actively read the material beforehand and discuss problem areas during the lectures. The course consists of the lectures and a final exam.

Networks II lectures start on Monday 17.9. 14-16 in T2. Registration happens on this first lecture. Course material will be in English. Lectures will be in English if required.

Timetable

Grading

The course grade consists of partication to lectures and a final exam.
Final exams will be held as follows:

  • 17.12.2007 16-19 at T1.
  • 12.3.2008 9-12 at T1.

Example exam. Three of the four questions should be answered with an essay. Each essay is given up to 6 points giving a maximum exam score of 18 points. Diagrams and lists can be used to illustrate architecture/protocol features and functionality, but the essays should also be well structured and presented. The grading schema will be made available after the exam. There will also be an exam reception after the exam.

Required preliminary knowledge

  • T-110.300 Telecommunication Architectures
  • T-110.350 Computer Networks
  • T-110.402 Information Security Technology
or equivalent knowledge.
