- Network functions: signalling, transmission, switching, management.
- Network services: traffic characterization and quality of service.
- Topologies.
- Transmission techniques.
- Multiplexing (TDM, FDM, CDM) and multiple access (TDMA, FDMA, CDMA)
- Switching techniques: circuit switching, packet switching.
- OSI model: layered protocol architectures.
- ARQ protocols: stop and wait, go back N, selective repeat.
- Layer 1
- Transmission media.
- Access (ISDN, ADSL, PON) and transport (SDH, PDH) networks.
- Layer 2
- Protocols: HDLC, LAP-B, LLC, LAP-F
- Frame relay
- ATM
- LAN (Local Area Networks)
- MAC (Medium Access Control) protocols: Ethernet
- Bridging and switching
- Layer 3:
- Routing protocols and algorithms
