EECE 3330 - Computer Networks II

(3 CR, 2T + 1S)

This course focuses on learning network design and operation from a layer 3 perspective, including both intra-domain static routing and dynamic routing protocols. Students will describe how routers discover remote networks and determine the best path to them. They will design addressing schemes and deploy WANs, LANs and inter-networks using static routing as well as RIPv1, RIPv2, EIGRP, and OSPF protocols. Based on these protocols, students will identify the characteristics of distance vector and link state routing protocols. They will learn fundamental tools for routing scalability, and will design hierarchical routing schemes with OSPF. Students will describe the concept of traffic engineering and apply multi-path schemes.
