S-38.030 Postgraduate Course on Networking Technology (3-10 cr.) P V

Course Topic Spring 2005: IPv6, Mobility and Alternatives



Latest news:



Introduction

The goal of this course is to introduce the students to the state of the art, research and new developments in the area of IPv6, in particular Mobility management using IPv6 and Alternative solutions for Mobility Management in IP packet networks. Topics of interest range from business aspects to technology covering the forwarding plane, performance analysis, routing, QoS and especially Mobility Management on layer 3, below layer 3 and above layer 3. Also, since the takeup of IPv6 is progressing slowly, it is interesting to look for alternatives that may further delay the coming of IPv6 or completely remove the need for IPv6. The idea is to understand the principles and possibilities of these new developments and analyze their usefullness.

The course can be included in post-graduate studies on Networking Technology (major or minor in S38). The credits can also be included in graduate studies on Networking Technology.

Course completion

The course will be arranged as a seminar. Seminar language will be English. Each participant will give a presentation on his/her subject from the material. Each student will report his/her subject in a seminar paper and will act as an opponent to one presentation. Please check also the course requirements.

Each participant will choose/suggest a subject from the list of topics according to his/her interests and consult the course assistant about his/her preference. The participant may also reserve/suggest his/her own presentation topic. Final assignment of topics will be organized on the first meeting of the seminar. Your comments and suggestions towards improving the seminar are also welcome.

If an adequate amount of high-standard papers emerge they will be published in the Networking Laboratory Series. This may require additional work on the paper!
