SHIPMARTECH Courses- INTEGRATED SHIP SYSTEMS - Data Transmission Networks

The course aims at the provision of a theoretical and practical approach of networking technologies. Networking functionality is separated into layers and the module syllabus is based on this layering. In the context of the module we will examine:

  1. The application layer with emphasis on basic and multimedia applications that use data networks
  2. The transport layer with emphasis on multiplexing techniques, reliable transmission and flow control
  3. The network layer with emphasis on addressing and routing techniques
  4. The data link layer with emphasis on medium access and error control techniques
  5. The physical layer

 We will also examine security aspects in data networks. Laboratory sessions will support the theoretical sessions.

Objectives

  1. Introduce students to the techniques used in Internet & Data Networks.
  2. Introduce students to the practical techniques used in developing network applications in shipping.
