Friday 8 June, morning Link to the 2001 timetable. So many people had trouble with logarithms in the test that I prepared a brief introduction to them. I am not distributing it in class, but you are welcome to read and perhaps print the PDF from the Web page. It contains pointers to further reading and to articles that are of interest in the context of this course. This table represents a first estimate of topics to be covered throughout the lectures, together with assignment and test dates.
All details are subject to change.
All lectures are in Library B28. The dates are the start of each week, with assignments due near the end of the week, exact details to be arranged. Introduction to Layered network model. HDLC, BiSync etc protocols. Solving the last-mile problem ADSL, ISDN, and Co.
