Module Aims
The module aims to enhance pre-existing knowledge of IP based computer networks, which are commonly ubiquitous, looking under the hood of familiar network environments and developing an understanding within the event networking context. Following this, an introduction to the challenges of utilisation of wireless systems within a live event context.
Content Summary
Through a series of lectures and practical workshops, this module will broadly cover subject matter in the following areas:
Event Networks
Develop familiarity with data in packetized formats
TCP/IP Theory
Networking Standards (IEEE 802.3, 802.11)
Understanding the OSI model
Protocols and operating systems
Network Design & Routing
Application of Audio over IP and Video over IP protocols.
Troubleshooting processes with networking
Wireless Systems
