Overview
CMSC 23360 targets a deep understanding of recent developments in networked systems, going beyond questions of what to why. We will discuss a wide range of systems and protocols, from large-scale decentralized systems (e.g. p2p), anonymous communications, botnets/worms, social networks, streaming services, to data centers, various types of mobile networks (e.g. cellular, WiFi, bluetooth) and IoT systems. Aside from regular lectures, nothing beats the first hand experience of building networking protocols and applications from the ground up. Thus 23360 students will build a range (2-3) of networking projects ranging widely in complexity.
