Introduction

This course addresses some fundamental topics in telecommunication networks such as routing, congestion, multicast, integrated services, ... that are not covered in other courses on networking.

Specific topics may change from year to year, and efforts are made to keep the course in line with advances in networking, and with "hot topics," while, at the same time, maintaining it with a general enough perspective so as to avoid tecnicisms and "a la mode" approaches.

Mathematics is used as needed, specially for topics in congestion control.
