Course Objectives
The students will learn techniques for designing computer networks and network devices that work under real-time constraints.
Course Content
Review of core and edge network architectures.Introduction to in-vehicle and industrial communication networks.Quality of Service and real-time operation concepts.Basic router architectures.Fabric scheduling.Quality of Service schedulers.Packet processing and lookup.Switch fabric architectures.IPv6 and Next Generation Networks.In-vehicle networking system requirements and architectures.CAN Bus,LIN.Byteflight,FlexRay.Scheduling for CAN Bus and FlexRay.Industrial Communication Networks.Real time Ethernet.
Course Learning Outcomes
This course is designed to provide the students with a research-oriented point of view on computer networking under time/resource/performance constraints. The first part of the course is dedicated to high-speed router and switch design with Quality of Service support. We consider both switches in the backbone networks and on-chip networks. The second part of the course focuses on networks for embedded systems with real-time performance guarantees. Both parts of the course include scheduling algorithms to achieve performance guarantees. The course follows both fundamental and recent research papers. The students are expected to perform paper readings and reviews as well as a term project.
