Course Topic Spring 2005: IPv6, Mobility and Alternatives
Latest news:
- Opening seminar on March 3rd at 15.00 in SD302.
- List of topics is available here.
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!
