Internet Technologies II

Marlboro College Graduate Center. MSIE Program. Winter Trimester 2001.

Instructor. Mark Francillon

Course Description:

• Part I. The first term of this sequence focused on core network-, transport-, and application-layer Internet protocols. This trimester we'll start off by looking at the operation of those protocols in the context of the current Internet, in particular in the context of current Internet security. We'll try to characterize the state of play in Internet security, and look into what can be done in the way of ensuring the confidentiality, integrity and authenticity of network communications and systems.
• Part II. The second section of the course focuses on system design and construction. We'll look at the technologies available for construction of heterogeneous distributed systems; we'll design and implement such a system; and we'll study the performance of these sorts of systems.
• Part III. IT2 concludes with a consideration of emerging technologies. This year we'll focus on peer-to-peer networking.

Course work: will consist of two system configuration projects, one due on Monday March 18th, the second on Wednesday April 17th.
