This subject is based on the skills and knowledge acquired in the subjects:
It is also highly recommended to have taken (or be taking) the following subjects:
This subject is integrated into the "Operating Systems, Distributed Systems and Networks" subject of the curriculum and serves as a foundation for the following subjects:
The subjects "Computer Networks" I and II provide the student with the basic competences, knowledge and skills to understand the problems of data communication and network interconnection (especially Internet). Nowadays, digital communications have an enormous importance in any information technology infrastructure and also in society due to their role in the new paradigms of inter-personal communication.
Specifically, the course "Computer Networks II" is dedicated to deepen the functional aspects of the contents already introduced in the course "Computer Networks I" in addition to introducing other more advanced concepts such as multicasting, dynamic routing protocols, programming client-server applications, etc..
