The Internet, which is a critical infrastructure of modern information society, has been designed through a selection of many
elemental technologies. In the future, it will be an important issue to design networks satisfying the requirements for increasingly
diversified information services. Active engineers in the information society will need to understand the elemental technologies
consisting of the Internet and cultivate sensitivity for combining the technologies appropriately. This lecture aims at equipping
for designing networks through learning significance and mechanism of network technologies, including basic technologies within
the protocol stack and practical technologies for operating site.
This lecture aims at acquiring general knowledge about information network technology for science/engineering students who
do not major in communication engineering.
- Understanding the mechanism of the Internet
- Understanding the significance and characteristics of the components of communication systems
- Catching up the transition of network technologies corresponding to the changes in social demands
