From Course Homepage:
The focus of the course is on the protocols, algorithms and tools needed to support the development and delivery of advanced network services over networks. We will also examining the capabilities provided by emerging ultra-fast network technologies. The course begins with a brief survey of the state of the art in networking technology, examines a collection of new and emerging services and applications, and then examines the algorithms, protocols and software entities involved in delivering new services.
This course will be taught jointly with Harvard University. Lectures will be transmitted over the vBNS in an interactive fashion, providing a life example of an advanced networking service.
