Course content
The course consists of two parts, the first one with focus on Internet as a system, in particular routing protocols and domain components (macro level), and the second one with focus on control of a single network device through programming (micro level). Topics that may be part of the macro level are: business models, interchange agreements, routing protocols such as Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) and Open Shortest Path First (OSPF). The micro level part will concentrate on realizing different network functions through the concept of Software Defined Networking (SDN).
Learning outcome
A. Knowledge: 1) To get a profound understanding of concepts and principles behind the Internet as a system. 2) To get a basic understanding of network routing. 3) To get a basic understanding of the inter-domain routing protocol BGP and how it is used as a signaling/ information distributor. 4) To get a basic understanding of Software Defined Networking (SDN) and OpenFlow. 5) To get a basic understanding of programming in a network context.
B. Skills: 1) To be able to communicate, reason and creatively think about the ecosystem providing basic communication services in Internet. 2) To be able to design, implement and debug a simple network control program. 3) To use network emulation tools.
Learning methods and activities
The course has regular lectures combined with theoretical and practical assignments during the lectures and laboratories providing hands-on experience in network programmability. The final practical assignment and the final theoretical assignment are both graded. All the other assignments are compulsory. Written reports and/or code must be submitted individually by each student.

Further on evaluation
Three assessments provide the basis for the final grade in the course, a final theoretical assignment, a final practical assignment and a written final exam that count for 30, 30 and 40% of the final grade, respectively. All three parts must be passed in order to pass the course. The results for each of the parts are given with a letter grade.
The assignments and the exam are given in English only. The exam can be answered in English or in Norwegian.
If there is a re-sit examination, the examination form may be changed from written to oral exam. If a student also after the re-sit exam has the final grade F/failed, the student must repeat the entire course, that is all three assessments and the compulsory assignments. Also in the case a student wants to try to improve his/her grade, he/she must repeat all three assessments and all the compulsory assignments.
