CSE5803 Advanced Internet Protocols and Applications [Adv Int Prot & App ]

Reasons for Introduction

Obsolete Reasons for Introduction

The subject was approved in 1992 as RDT5030 Advanced Communications Applications. It was one of a set of subjects making up the Digital Communications stream in the coursework Master of Computing course. That stream was subsequently established in 1995 as the Master of Digital Communications programme. The subject has had several code changes to track departmental changes (RDT5030, DGS5030, CSE5803), and has been offered biennially since 1993. As originally developed and approved, the subject focussed on the upper-layer protocols and applications associated with the OSI protocol stack and the Internet, but with emphasis on the former. The virtual demise of the OSI approach as a working network model, apart from a few applications which largely operate over the Internet, has made it appropriate to revise the subject in line with current networking practices. While the original syllabus provided sufficient scope to accommodate the changes in networking, it is considered appropriate to make a thorough revision of the syllabus, and to change the subject name to reflect its contents more accurately.
