Overview
Graduate
level course on computer networking. The course will consist of a
taught component, as well as a term project component. The taught
component of the course will focus on advanced networking topics by
studying a combination of classic research papers as well as current
and emerging topics in computer networking. Specific focus areas will
include cloud computing, network management, software defined
networking and network architecures. Term projects will be
