In diesem Proseminar werden Themen rund um Rechnernetz behandelt. Dabei gibt es Themenbereiche aus der gesamten Bandbreite der Schichten des ISO/OSI-Modells.

Themen

Die folgenden Themen stehen zur Vergabe. Siehe auch unter Literatur.

  1. Spread Spectrum

    Spread Spectrum is an important form of encoding for wireless communications. The use of spread spectrum makes jamming and interception mor difficult.
    (Stallings, Kapitel 9)

  2. Asynchronous Transfer Mode

    ATM is a streamlined packet transfer interface. ATM makes use of fixed-size packets, called cells. The use of a fixed size and fixed format results in an efficient scheme for transmission over high-speed networks.
    (Stallings, Kapitel 11)

  3. Cellular Wireless Networks

    The essence of a cellular network is the use of multiple low-power transmitters. The area to be covered is divided into cells in a hexagonal tile pattern that provide full coverage of the area.
    (Stallings, Kapitel 14)

  4. High-Speed LANs

    The IEEE 802.3 standard, known as Ethernet, now encompasses data rates of 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, 1 Gbps, and 10 Gbps. For the lower data rates, the CSMA/CD MAC protocol is used. For the 1-Gbps and 10-Gbps options, a switched technique is used.
    (Stallings, Kapitel 16)

  5. Wireless LANs

    The principal technologies used for wireless LANs are infrared, spread spectrum and narrowband microwave.
    (Stallings, Kapitel 17)

  6. Network Security

    Network security threats fall into two categories. Passive threats, sometimes referred to as eavesdropping, involve attempts by an attacker to obtain information relating to a communication. Active threats involve some modification of the transmitted data or the creation of false transmissions.
    (Stallings, Kapitel 21)

  7. Internet Applications - Multimedia

    The Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) is an application-level control protocol for setting up, modifying, and terminating real-time sessions between participants over an IP data network.
    (Stallings, Kapitel 24)

  8. Address Resolution Protocol

    The Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) is the standard method for finding a host's hardware address when only its network layer address is known. Due to the overwhelming prevalence of IPv4 and Ethernet, ARP is primarily used to translate IP addresses to Ethernet MAC addresses.
    (Comer, Kapitel 5)

  9. Internet Control Message Protocol

    The Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) is one of the core protocols of the Internet protocol suite. It is chiefly used by networked computers' operating systems to send error messages—indicating, for instance, that a requested service is not available or that a host or router could not be reached.
    (Comer, Kapitel 8)

  10. Classless Inter-Domain Routing

    Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) was introduced in 1993 and is the latest refinement to the way IP addresses are interpreted. It replaced the previous generation of IP address syntax, classful networks.
    (Comer, Kapitel 9)

  11. Border Gateway Protocol

    The Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is the core routing protocol of the Internet. It works by maintaining a table of IP networks or 'prefixes' which designate network reachability among autonomous systems (AS).
    (Comer, Kapitel 14)

  12. Routing Information Protocol, Open Shortest Path First

    The Routing Information Protocol (RIP) is one of the most commonly used interior gateway protocol (IGP) routing protocols on internal networks. The Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) protocol is a hierarchical interior gateway protocol (IGP) for routing in Internet Protocol, using a link-state in the individual areas that make up the hierarchy.
    (Comer, Kapitel 15)

  13. IP Multicast

    Multicast is the delivery of information to a group of destinations simultaneously using the most efficient strategy to deliver the messages over each link of the network only once, creating copies only when the links to the destinations split.
    (Comer, Kapitel 16)

  14. Mobile IP

    Mobile IP is an Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) standard communications protocol that is designed to allow mobile device users to move from one network to another while maintaining a permanent IP address.
    (Comer, Kapitel 18)

  15. Network Address Translation, Virtual Private Network

    The process of Network Address Translation (NAT) involves re-writing the source and/or destination addresses of IP packets as they pass through a Router or firewall. A virtual private network (VPN) is a communications network tunneled through another network, and dedicated for a specific network. One application is secure communications through the public Internet.
    (Comer, Kapitel 19)

  16. Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol

    The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a set of rules used by communications devices such as a computer, router or network adapter to allow the device to request and obtain an IP address from a server which has a list of addresses available for assignment.
    (Comer, Kapitel 22)

  17. Domain Name System

    The Domain Name System (DNS) associates various sorts of information with so-called domain names; most importantly, it serves as the "phone book" for the Internet: it translates human-readable computer hostnames into the IP addresses that networking equipment needs for delivering information.
    (Comer, Kapitel 23)

  18. E-Mail

    Electronic mail (abbreviated "e-mail" or, often, "email") is a store and forward method of composing, sending, storing, and receiving messages over electronic communication systems. Important protocols used are SMTP, POP, IMAP, and MIME.
    (Comer, Kapitel 26)
