Students are able to design, realize and test communication protocols and know about the basics of TCP/IP Internet technologies.

Introduction. Protocol design (the notion of protocol, languages for formal specification of protocols - SDL, MSC, TTCN, UML). Methodology of protocol realization (core, design pattern, class library for realization of protocols). Examples of protocol realization: OSI LAPB and X.25 network level. The Internet (Structure of the Internet, component of the Internet physical architecture, Commutation elements). TCP/IP Internet (Internet services, history). Internet concepts (Internet address, ARP, RARP, Internet protocol IP, ICMP, UDP, TCP). Transparent protocol converters, subnetwork addressing and supranetwork addressing. Domain name system. Protocols and applications of remote interactive operation (telnet). Database transmission (TFTP and FTP). Electronic mail protocols and applications (e-mail, SMTP and POP3)

Lectures. Tutorials. Computer practice. Consultations. The teaching is divided into two blocks. In the first block students attend theoretical classes during the mornings. In the afternoon they attend computer practice classes. During the second block students work on their examination papers.
