The course "computer communications" deals with the fundamental functions of and protocols used for data communications, with special focus on local area networks and the Internet. A selection of the topics we will cover is as follows:

• Sending and receiving signals corresponding to binary data
• Frames and packets for reliable transmission
• Organising access to the network in a shared medium
• Structure of Internet-based networks
• Various protocols used on the Internet
• Network- and/or Internet-enabled applications

The course is given in Swedish and English. I will do my best to stick to Swedish in the lectures and exercise sessions, while the slides will be in English. (You can ask questions and make comments in both languages.) The labs will be held in English. The project will be a little bit of both; the report will be written in Swedish, while interaction with the project supervisors needs to be in English. Hence, supervisor meetings and presentations will be held in English. The final exam is in Swedish.

Students registered to EITF45 Datorkommunikation are welcome to the opening lecture on Monday, November 3, at 10:00 in MA:6, in which I will first give an introduction to the course and then continue briefly with our first topic. An introduction to the project will be given in the second half of the opening lecture.

This course page will not be updated any further. Everything related to the course can be found and will be updated on CANVAS.
