| Description/Outcomes | This course covers the probability theory, the cumulative distribution (CDF) and probability density (PDF) of random variables, the Markov chain, the Poisson process, and the queueing theory. This course also covers the traffic management and QoS techniques, which include classification and marking, differentiated services, various queuing disciplines, fragmentation and interleaving, traffic shaping and policing. The course project will involve the simulation and performance analysis of a computer network using network simulation tools (OPNET or NS-2).
Learning Outcomes - Apply Qeueing systems to traffic management.
- Understand and differentiate between the different traffic management and QoS techniques and be able to the suitable technique for each type of applications.
