CSE 424: Advanced Topics in Communication Networks (Fall 2011)

Instructor:	Prof. M. Chuah chuah(at)cse.lehigh.edu http://www.cse.lehigh.edu/~chuah/
Additional Instructor:	Dr. Simon Chen sucx11(at) lehigh.edu
Course Description:	CSE 497 is a graduate level course that covers in detail some advanced topics in communication networks. It starts with an overview of internet addressing and routing schemes, followed by topics like route security, internet topology and measurements, P2P Network, Data Center Design etc. Last but not least, topics related to design of ad hoc network and disruption tolerant network will be discussed.
Objectives:	To provide an in-depth understanding of how internet routing (both intradomain and interdomain routing) works and how routing design for wireless networks like ad hoc networks and disruption tolerant networks vary from traditional Internet model. In addition, the students will discuss current research topics in these exciting areas e.g. new scalable internet architecture with in-built security feature. These objectives are accomplished through course lectures, paper readings, and extensive class project assignment.
Prerequisites:	CSE 303, ECE404, or equivalent
Expected Work:	Homework, lab programming assignments
Examinations:	Midterm, and final project
Recommended Textbooks:	BGP4 - Interdomain Routing , J. Stewart , , Addison-Wesley. Ad Hoc Mobile Wireless Networks, C. K. Toh, Prentice Hall
