Hello there,

You can already (un-)register for the exam on your own in HISPOS/LSF and you can do so until July 18th end-of-day.
We will conduct the oral exams starting by July 25th, 2022.


Oral exams will be conducted virtually (via zoom) and will take approximately 30 minutes.
Each student will get a calendar invitation with their designated exam slot.
Due to the high number of oral exams, slot changes are not allowed except for the following reasons:

1) Due to your timezone, the scheduled oral exam would take place before 8 am or after 8 pm.
2) You have an exam that overlaps with the scheduled exam.
Note: this rule does not apply for another exam on the same day which does not overlap with your oral exam with us.
3) You have a medical certificate.
4) There are unforeseen and important circumstances that temporarily do not allow you to participate in the exam.

In any of such cases, we expect you to write us an email with detailed information on why we should change your examination slot until three days before your examination.The decision on whether we provide you with a new slot lies on our end.

Finally, you will have to provide us with a written consent that we are allowed to conduct the exam virtually.
If you registered for the exam and we do not receive your written consent before 8 am on the day of your exam, you will automatically fail the exam—we will make the form available during this week in a separate news post.

The First Assignment

Written on 21.04.22 by Seifeddine Fathalli

Dear Students,

The first assignment is now online in the Materials section of the course CMS and is due next Thursday, April 28 at 23:59 CEST.

As stated in the Assignments section, you will solve twelve assignments throughout the semester.
Assignments are submitted in groups of three students.

Dear Students,

The first assignment is now online in the Materials section of the course CMS and is due next Thursday, April 28 at 23:59 CEST.

As stated in the Assignments section, you will solve twelve assignments throughout the semester.
Assignments are submitted in groups of three students.
We will only enforce this rule starting from the second assignment to give you time to find a group partner.
We encourage you to find a group partner early and already welcome group submissions for the first assignment.

Use the CMS for your submission and hand in one pdf with your solution per group.
Please clearly note your (and your group partners) name and Matrikel number on the top of your pdf.

As some of you already did, you can use the forum to find group members.
You can write a mail, as a last resort, to the mailing list (inet-teaching@lists.mpi-inf.mpg.de) if you can not find a group partner. 
We will gather those requests and assign you a partner.


The exam admission depends on getting at least 50 percent of the theoretically achievable points.
When achieving more than 60 percent (75 percent) of all points, a bonus of +0.3 (+0.7) will be applied to your final grade.
The exam must be passed without the grading bonus.


You can attend any tutorial session regardless of the session that your partner attends.
Submissions are not strictly mapped to tutors, i.e., your group's assignments will likely be graded by a different tutor every week.

Starting time of the lectures

Written on 19.04.22 by Mohamad Hoseini

Lecture sessions will be started at 16:15 on Tuesdays and at 12:15 on Fridays.

Data Networks

In this lecture, we will discuss the structure of the internet including the basics of internet communication. We will start at the application layer and investigate services like web (HTTP), mail (SMTP, POP, IMAP), domain name systems (DNS), or routing (BGP). After that, we will work through the transport layer (TCP, UDP) down to the network layer (IP). Lastly, we will examine the interactions between the protocols. We further explain the principles of computer networks based on the fundamentals of the area, including network protocol mechanisms, implementation principles, network algorithms, advanced network architectures, network simulations, measurements, protocol specifications, and verification techniques.

 

Course Details

This course is worth 9 LP/ECTS points. In compliance with the current COVID-19 measures, we provide structured recordings of the two weekly lectures as well as a weekly Q&A session. Students are required to solve weekly assignments in small groups of three students to qualify for the final exam. We, further, provide a weekly tutorial session.

 

Hybrid Lecture

This semester the lecture QnAs will be held in person combined with best-effort Zoom virtual sessions. The QnAs will be held in: Building E1.3 - Lecture Hall 1 (0.01.1). The zoom links can be found next to the QnA schedule in the table below.

Our lecture recordings allow students to follow the course remotely at their schedule, pace, and network constraints. We expect them to work through all related videos before joining a lecture Q&A session for a specific topic. Students will be able to access the recordings, slides, and additional notes here:

Assignments

During the semester we will hand out 12 assignments that need to be solved in groups of three (preferable) or two students. We encourage to work in groups right from the first assignment but only require group solutions starting from the second assignment.  The exam admission depends on getting at least 50 percent of the theoretically achievable points. When achieving more than 60 percent (75 percent) of all points a grading bonus of +0.3 (+0.7) will be applied. The exam must be passed without the grading bonus.

We do not tolerate plagiarism—we compare submissions against various online sources as well as other submissions. If a group plagiarises for the first time, the entire assignment will be graded with 0 points. On the second occurrence, the group will be excluded permanently from the class and might face further measures.

Tutorials

The tutorial sessions are very similar to the lecture Q&A sessions. The tutor will elaborate on how the past assignment of the week before should have been solved (Discussion) and introduce the new topic as stated in the Topic column in the table below. The tutorial sessions will not cover additional material. Students, again, have the chance to pose content-related questions.
