2- Course Aim :-

This course aims to develop an understanding of the tools and technologies for understanding and improving the performance of communication networks such as the Internet. It will introduce students to quantitative methods for loss and delay analysis in packet networks, using techniques from stochastic traffic modelling, Markov chains, and queueing theory. The quantitative methods will be applied to practical examples from communication protocol design, Internet switch architectures, Internet search algorithms, etc., and augmented with emerging qualitative techniques for providing quality of service in data networks.
