CS 595 Network Routing

Class will study modern packet-based routing protocols as used in the Internet including interior gateway protocols (IGPs) like RIPv1, RIPv2, OSPF, and exterior gateway protocols (EGPs) like BGP. Certain routing control theory topics will be introduced; for example, link-state and vector distance routing, policy routing, source routing and tunnels, and the general use of metrics in existing routing protocols. Other aspects of routing protocols may be presented as time permits; for example, multicast routing, mobile routing, and tag-switching protocols. This class may take the form of a seminar with students asked to present various aspects of recent experimental research in routing. Also offered as CS 695 and may be taken only once for credit.
