Aims

Understand communication functions and their implementations in computer networks; understand archicture of basic network devices. Be aware of related formal tools for modelling, simulation and verification of network communication.

Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences

Mid-term exam, laboratory practice and/or homework supported by project completion, and final exam are the monitored, and points earning education. Mid-term exam and laboratory practice are without correction eventuality. Final exam has two additional correction eventualities. The minimal number of points that can be obtained from the final exam is 25. Otherwise, no points will be assigned to a student.
