Learning objectives
The goal of this course is to inform students about network services and tools for network administration and traffic control. The practical parts of the course include network application programming and laboratory assignments where students can apply theoretical knowledge in configuration and analysis of real network services.
A student is able to configure network connection to the internet, configure common network services, monitor network traffic, detect and correct network failures. He or she is familiar with modern network applications for data, voice and video transmission. A student has an overview of tools for network administration and is able to use them. He or she is capable to create a secure network connection over the internet and secure a computer against cyber threats. A student is able to program a network application.
