Objectives

Programme

The topics of the laboratories to be carried out in the subject are the following.

Laboratories to be carried out in the Department of Telecommunications and Media Informatics (TMIT):

Linux systems, OpenWRT based tools, network management, IP basics

Introduction to the laboratory network environment, tools and software. Building, configuring and testing simple networks.

Network functions and software utilities, network management, Python scripting language

Practical application and testing of network functions, learning how to use the necessary software tools, application of Python scripting language to network management tasks.

Software-Defined Networking (SDN), OpenFlow networks

Understanding SDN concepts, configuring OpenFlow networks, programming controller applications (e.g. on POX platform).

Network virtualisation, network functions virtualisation (NFV), efficient packet management in software environment

Creating and configuring virtual networks, implementing new network functions in software (e.g. Click) and overview of acceleration options (e.g. Netmap, DPDK).

Laboratories to be performed in the Department of Networked Systems and Services (HIT):

Mobility management procedures

Students will investigate the performance and limitations of mobility management procedures in mobile networks using realistic simulations.

Mobility support in the Internet Protocol

Students will learn in detail about the mobility support features of the IP protocol, their operation and performance, through realistic simulation studies or in a real test environment.

Real test network measurements

In a real network, students study the processes and message exchanges required for communication and the impact of their configurations.

The aim of the subject is to support and supplement the theoretical knowledge taught in the specialization subjects with practical knowledge and laboratory tasks. The student who successfully completes the course will: (K2) understand and comprehend the operation of IT networks of different sizes and types and the services directly connected to them, and the role of each component. (K2) understand the main mechanisms used to support mobility in mobile networks, their performance and limitations. (K3) can independently design and operate small and medium sized IT networks and can deploy all basic network services. (K3) understands the tools that can be used for network measurements and the evaluation of results. (K4) understand and be able to use "software tools" to localize faults in IT networks and to quickly troubleshoot problems arising from faulty configurations. (K3) can independently develop a simple controller application in an SDN environment.

Oktatási módszertan

Instruction is provided in the Department of Telecommunications and Media Informatics (TMIT) and the Department of Networked Systems and Services (HIT) in the form of 4-hour laboratory exercises. During the semester, all students will participate in the laboratory tutorials and perform laboratory exercises related to the topics listed in Section 8 in both departments. Laboratories are carried out in groups according to the schedule announced at the beginning of the semester. You should be prepared for the laboratories from the electronically available aids. Preparation will be checked at the beginning of the laboratories with entry quiz. If it is not adequate, the student will be instructed to take a repeat-laboratory. The completion of the assessment is certified by the signature of the assessor. A measurement report must be submitted when the measurements are completed. Grading will be based on the answers to the control questions, the work done in the exercise and the laboratory reports as described in point 10. In addition to the laboratory exercises, students will be required to complete a large homework assignment. This will require a more detailed knowledge of a particular area, and the assignments will be worked out independently outside class. Consultation is available on request.

General rules

Requirements: During the school term: To receive credit for the semester, you must have completed the assignments during the semester, signed by the assessment supervisor, and have at least a satisfactory grade in each assessment, and have successfully completed the major homework assignment. The end-of-semester grade is the rounded average of the grades obtained for each laboratory according to the TVSz. Grading of the completed assignments will be done as follows: To start the laboratory, you will have to pass an entry quiz. The test is started by completing 60% of the test questions. Depending on the assignment, this may count towards the assessment of the laboratory. The grading of each laboratory may be dependent on the assessment of the test: Grade for completion of compulsory tasks: medium Grade for improvement: completion of optional tasks. Factors that will lower the grade: Missing or incorrect results. Additional possibilities: Repeat-laboratory may be taken during the semester at a time agreed with the corresponding teacher. One repeat-laboratory can be taken during the semester.

Detailed description

IMSc program: 1. IMSc students will also be given separate homework assignments, which, if successfully completed, will earn IMSc points. 2. In laboratory exercises, additional tasks at an advanced level may be completed for IMSc points. IMSc points: A maximum of 15 IMSc points per student may be awarded as follows: 1. Successfully completed optional homework assignments: max. 8 IMSc points. 2. successfully solved additional tasks in laboratory exercises: max 7 IMSc points. Supplementary assignments will only be marked if the student has obtained a mark on all other assignments in the relevant assessment. IMSc points may be awarded to students not participating in the IMSc programme as described above.
