全球網路的基礎設施是如何運作的？其設計的基本概念是什麼？如何在這些設計原理與實際運作間取捨？該如何改善現今的網路運作？如何確保未來的運作正常並且可以面對快速成長與變化？網際網路應用程式該如何撰寫，對於程式本身及網路運作才能獲得最佳的效能。這些議題將會在本課程中被加以討論，本課程的重點將會把焦點放在廣域網路系統的設計、開發、分析及評估。

How does the global network infrastructure work and what are the design principles on which it is based? In what ways are these design principles compromised in practice? How do we make it work better in today's world? How do we ensure that it will work well in the future in the face of rapidly growing scale and heterogeneity? And how should Internet applications be written, so they can obtain the best possible performance both for themselves and for others using the infrastructure? These are some issues that are grappled with in this course. The course will focus on the design, implementation, analysis, and evaluation of large-scale networked systems.

課程內容包括網際網路架構階層、單一及多重路由、擁塞控制、網路服務品質、行動網路、路由架構、網路感知程式、內容傳播系統、網路安全及效能議題。課堂教材將取自於研究報告、企業白皮書及網際網路協定規範文件(RFCs)。

Topics include internetworking philosophies, unicast and multicast routing, congestion control, network quality of service, mobile networking, router architectures, network-aware applications, content dissemination systems, network security, and performance issues. Material for the course will be drawn from research papers, industry white papers, and Internet RFCs.
