Course Outline

Course Project

· Project description and list of potential topics

Announcements (check frequently):

· Final Exam will be on April 11^th from 1pm to 3pm at LA C164.

· Project report is due on April 27^th

· Project presentation schedule. Note that the starting date is changed to March 22^nd (posters). Some presentations stay on the same day though.

Let me know ASAP if your project information is missing.

· Assignment 2 is posted.

· Please email me your project information: title and your name(s).

· Three short-term (9 months) contractor positions (not intern positions) at Cisco are available. If you meet the requirements and are interested, send me your resume.

· Please email me your presentation slides by Tue (23^rd) morning. It would be easier for in-class presentation.

· Assignment groups. If you names are not listed, send me the information the earliest. If not, you may be automatically selected for the presentation.

Assignments:
Assignments will be done in groups. A short presentation will be scheduled. 2–3 groups will be randomly selected for the presentation.

· Assignment 2: Due on March 31^st.

· Assignment 1: Due on Feb. 23^rd.

Reading assignments:

· A whitepaper on preparing your network for anticipated high demands. Go over it and identify the requirements, different approaches, and tips.

· B. Fortz, J. Rexford, and M. Thorup, “Traffic Engineering with Traditional IP Routing Protocols”, IEEE Communications, Oct, 2002, pp.118-124.

◦ We will have a discussion in class on the 14^th or 18^th. You are expected to go over the paper and identify important points (both strengths and weaknesses) for class discussions. No formal submission is needed.

Lecture Notes:

Review Materials on TCP/IP	· Introduction · Architecture layers and applications · Network layer – part I, part II · TCP/IP – part I, part II, and part III · QoS model
MPLS Architecture and Protocols	· MPLS introduction · Information distribution · Path calculation and setup · Forwarding down the tunnels · MPLS QoS · Protection and restoration · Virtual Private Networks – VPN1, VPN2 · Network Design with MPLS TE

Link Utilization) · Comparison of TE objective functions · Content Deliver Networks Introduction – Akamai (Note that the presentation was prepared in about 2004. The numbers in the presentation were outdated, but the concept remains the same.) · Large file caching – Caching large files in a local server. · A few papers just published last week (Jan 9-12) in IEEE Consumer Communications & Networking Conference. Those papers are related to CDN, ICN/CCN, and SDN. ◦ Content based TE ICN ◦ Packet rewriting ICN ◦ Privacy ICN ◦ Producer consumer CCN ◦ Multi-attribute CCN ◦ Mobility management CCN ◦ Cache protection CCN ◦ Dynamic cache optimization CDN ◦ Manage home router SDN ◦ Redundancy SDN
