Details |
In a final examination (written, optionally oral), the students demonstrate their competences in summary form. The examination comprises the following sections, in which six taxonomy levels are included (reproducing, understanding, applying, analysing, synthesising, and evaluating). 1.) A good understanding of basic terminology, concepts and techniques. 2.) Application of planning and evaluation techniques. 3.) Evaluation of proposed solutions for correctness, identification of errors in statements or given networks. |

Goal type | Description |
---|---|
Knowledge | Fundamental knowledge of multiservice networks or multimedia applications in All-IP networks including planning, implementation and evaluation of services. Protocol analysis for functional analysis, performance analysis and troubleshooting. |
Skills | Students evaluate requirements of Multimedia services, and necessary methods for QoS in multiservice networks. They plan and implement IP Multimedia environments as team project, and test QoS performance measures. They are competent in functional analysis and troubleshooting by deep packet inspection (DPI) protocol analysis. They evaluate the performance of the Multimedia network or services in terms of timing, throughput, latency and delays, jitter, robustness in case of packet errors, and security aspects. Individual project proposals by students are wellcome. |
