Prerequisite
You will be ready for this course if you have the level of understanding of internet technology that comes from an advanced undergraduate course or a first Masters course in networking, or equivalent professional experience.
Students' work in the course is assessed through weekly online quizzes based on the content of the videos. In addition, students are asked to perform measurements on the PlanetLab Europe platform through an interface provided by the course, and are quizzed on the results of these experiments. Students are also invited to conduct measurements from their own computers as additional exercises, which are not assessed. A certificate will be issued by FUN, confirming successful completion of the Mooc.
