EL 7353 Communication Networks I: Analysis, Modeling, and Proformance

Description:

The purpose of this course is to introduce students to the analytical techniques used in the design and performance analysis of networks. Building on their knowledge of networking technology and applied mathematics, especially probability, students will start by learning basic queueing theory. This will be applied to the performance analysis of multiplexers, switches, and multiple access networks. Newer techniques such as the network calculus, the study of non-Poissonian long range dependent traffic sources, and applications to TCP, admission control, advanced packet switches and IEEE 802.11 networks will be introduced.
