In a final examination (oral, optionally written), the students demonstrate their competences in summary form. The examination includes examples of parts of the course which are dealt with in guided questions and subtasks. The examination components comprise the following sub-areas
1. In-depth understanding of fundamental architectures, concepts and techniques.
2. Application of planning and performace evaluation techniques.
3. Evaluation of proposed solutions for correctness, identification of errors in statements or given networks.
Team- and project-oriented skills as well as requirements engineering, information collection and presentation are evaluated during the practical part and examined before the certificate (ULP) is issued.

The course includes topics on application-level generation of network traffic, encoding chracteristics, modelling of network traffic, standards and architectures for multiservice networks, quality-of-service mechanisms, traffic classification, traffic control and network scheduling, quality-of-experinence evaluations, application-level QoE improvements.

Working on a small project in a tiny team (2-3 team members) on actual technologies in the area of multiservice networks in different network technologies (fixed line, mobile) or advanced IP-based applications. The results are reviewed during the course period, summarised in a report and presented to the class. Individual project proposals by students are wellcome.

Work in lab projects on individual QoS solutions.
Analyze solution, evaluate quality and resource consumption.
Record results in a scientific paper (IEEE format).
Present and discuss results in class.
