Basic understanding of computer networks, theory course Computer Networking I or motivation to self-study.

This laboratory course is supported by the theory course Computer Networking I, which is arranged in parallel. The laboratory course can also be completed independently by using the materials of the theory course (available on the Moodle platform), but in that case the required amount of self-study might increase depending on the previous knowledge of the student. Links to additional sample materials are provided on the course Moodle page. Lecture and other recordings as well as other materials like lecture notes, example problems etc available on the course platform.

To complete the course remotely, students need to install freely available software: e.g. network simulator GNS3, protocol analyzer Wireshark and an OpenVPN client.

The course will primarily be based on flexible self-studying. It is also possible to complete the practical exercises in on-campus teaching at Tampere University Hervanta campus during the Fall and Spring periods. The course contains scheduled lectures and/or other learning events.
