Abstract
It is hard to think of a technology that has more changed the way we live than the Internet. From the very way we communicate, access and exchange information, shop, pay, move, entertain, work and even maintain friendship, everything is now “connected”. At the same time, the Internet is still inexorably growing, and at an always faster pace, thanks to the rise of the Internet of Things (IoT).
Objective
After successfully completing this course, students will be able to: 1. understand how the Internet works: from their laptops to the large datacenters powering online services at the other end of planet; 2. build and operate an Internet-like network infrastructure; 3. identify the right set of metrics to evaluate the performance or the adequacy of a network and propose ways to improve it (if any); 4. develop an end-to-end understanding of the emerging field of Internet of Things.
