IP Routing in Simple Computer Networks 5 p VT 2004

Welcome

Welcome to course 2D1490, IP Routing in Simple Computer Networks. We hope that you will find the course interesting, rewarding, and fun. All course-related news and information will be published on this page. The information on this page is definitive, though not necessarily exhaustive. Please do not hesitate to email me if you have any questions.

Course Objectives

After taking this course the student should have a good understanding of:

• The different routing paradigms- the differences, the similarities, and when to use which paradigm.
• What decisions a router must make before forwarding a packet to another network.
• Routing in practice- a deep understanding of how two protocols, OSPF and RIP, work in large network topologies.
• ... and much, much more.

If taken together with course 2D1491 and 2G1316, the student should be proficient enough to take active part in the IETF design process.

• 20040322: A course analysis has been placed on the web. From there you can check out the results from the course evaluation which most of you have filled out. Check it out: http://www.nada.kth.se/kurser/kth/2D1490/04/kursanalys/kursanalys.html
• 20040318: The exam is now corrected. I will hand it over to the nada expedition tomorrow morning. You should find a copy of my "rättningsmall" or Exam Correcting template in each of your exam folders, with some comments and thoughts of mine.
  
  • The rättningsmall can be found online here: http://www.nada.kth.se/kurser/kth/2D1490/04/rattningsmall.20040309.
  • I've put your final grades in the following directory at nada:
    afs:///info/ipro1-04/tentaresultat.20040309
    You can access this file if you have an account at NADA, which I think I can safely assume that you all have.
• 20040309: Course Evaluation form placed on site

If you cannot get a hold of me, email <edu@noc.kth.se> and someone in the educational group at KTHNOC will help you.

Formal prerequisites for the course: 2D1320, 2D1340/2D1345, 2D1343, 2D1344 or the equivalent. UNIX knowledge desired.
 
This is an intensive course, and the ambitioius student should prepare for the course by reading the course literature before the course begins. I also suggest that the student tries to answer the questions in these "tenta". These exams were written for an earlier, currently non-existent course, 2D1392.
