This course is part of the Bachelor’s curriculum in Computer Science and related study programmes. It covers fundamental concepts of computer networking, including Internet technologies, the OSI and TCP/IP reference models, transmission technologies (such as twisted-pair cables, fibre optics and wireless LAN), the Internet Protocol (IPv4/IPv6), subnetting and routing, transport protocols (TCP and UDP), and application protocols (such as HTTP, SMTP and DNS).

A key feature of the course is its strong practical orientation: In a series of lab exercises, students configure Linux-based systems, analyse network protocols using Wireshark, explore common application services, and design and implement TCP/IP-based networks. The course is offered regularly during the winter term and serves as a foundation for more advanced modules in Computer Science and especially IT security.

This course was for students of several Bachelor programmes at OTH Amberg-Weiden. Contents were Internet technologies in general, OSI reference model, TCP/IP reference model, transmission technologies such as cable, fibre optics and WiFi, Internet protocol, subneting and routing, transport protocols, application protocols and basics of network security. In supplementary practical exercises, basics of network configuration under Linux were taught, network protocols were analysed with Wireshark, and TCP/IP-based networks were planned and implemented.

This course for undergraduate students was taught annually at OTH Amberg-Weiden and for the last time by me during the Winter Semester 2023/24. My colleague, Prof. Matthias Söllner, with whom I have taught the course in previous years, continues to teach this course.
