Eighth Semester
Advanced Networking with IPv6
Course Description: The course covers principles underlying IPv6 Network Design, Internet routing protocols (unicast, multicast and unidirectional) with IPv6, algorithmic issues related to the Internet, IPv6 Migration, measurement and performance, next generation Internet (IPv6, QoS) and applications.
Course Objectives: The main objective of this course is to provide knowledge of different concepts of advanced networking with IPv6 including network design, routing, migration etc.
