Annotation
The course introduces students to the basics of communication in a variety of data networks. The aim of the course is to provide a more comprehensive view of communication protocol for specific types most commonly used data networks according to the RM-layer OSI model. The course also allows students to look into ways of communicating with TCP/IP in the Internet, including the possibility of a practical realization of the data network in laboratory conditions using real equipment.

Study targets
Student is able to understand principles of communication in data networks, not to say in the Internet.
