High Speed Networks

This document outlines the objectives and units of a course on high speed networks. The course aims to highlight features of technologies like ATM and frame relay and their performance. It will provide an introduction to these topics as well as developments in high speed networks. Students will learn techniques for supporting real-time traffic and congestion control, and how to provide different quality of service levels to various applications. The five units cover topics like frame relay, ATM, high-speed LANs, congestion/traffic management, TCP/ATM congestion control, integrated/differentiated services, and protocols for quality of service support.
