6.267 Heterogeneous Networks: Architecture, Transport, Protocols, and Management
Fall 2011
Instructors: Vincent W. S. Chan, Robert G Gallager, John M Chapin
TA: Matthew Francis Carey
Lecture: MW11-12.30 (26-314)
Information:
Introduction to modern heterogeneous networks and the provision
of heterogeneous network services. Architectural principles,
analysis, algorithmic techniques, performance analysis, and
existing designs are developed and applied to understand current
problems in network design and architecture. Begins with basic
principles of networking. Emphasizes development of mathematical
and algorithmic tools; applies them to understanding network layer
design from the performance and scalability viewpoint. Concludes
with network management and control, focusing on the architecture
and performance analysis of interconnected heterogeneous networks.
Provides background and insight to understand current network
literature and to perform research on networks. 4 Engineering
Design Points.
