The syllabus consists mainly of the lectures, and some complementary literature provided by the lecturers. The articles marked as optional are intended as recommended support literature. Exam questions will not be asked directly from them, but they will help you understand more of the topics.
The lectures treated as core syllabus are: "Future Internet - Why and what", "Future Internet - ANA", "Multicast and CacheCast" , "Ad-hoc networks", "Energy efficient sensor networks", "Software and hardware support for network virtualization", "Realtime multimedia in presence of firewalls and NATs", "Low latency, high bandwidth communication. Infiniband and RDMA programming".
