2G1305 Internetworking is a 4 point course designed for undergraduates.
Information is available on:
This course will give both practical and general knowledge on the protocols that are the basis of the Internet. After this course you should have a good knowledge about Internet protocols and internetworking architecture. You should have a general knowledge aiding you in reading research and standardization documents in the area.
The course consists of 14 hours of lectures, 14 hours of recitation (övningar) and 40-100 hours of written assignment.
Lectures will be given in English. Lecture notes will be available via the course web site in advance of the relevant lecture(s).
Recitations will be based on exercises from the main literature. Some extra recitations may be made available via the course web site.
There will be no written examination as all students have agreed to submit a paper for the course.
A very good paper should be either a very good review or present a new idea, while an outstanding or excellent paper should be truely innovative.
A sample paper is:

Each of the sample papers below appears here by permision of the
authors - the copyright belongs to the respective authors.
Note that the papers below represent papers that were done for
1 point, rather than the 4 points which the current papers are to be worth.
From 2005:
From 2002:
In several earlier years all students were assigned the same topic:
Grades: U, 3, 4, 5.
"komplettering" - for students who do not initially pass the requirements for the course, but are near passing there is the possibility of revising the paper.
KTH has a common code of honor and regulations (see Code of Honor and Regulations).
The course will mainly be based on the book Behrouz A. Forouzan, TCP/IP Protocol Suite, 3rd edition, McGraw-Hill, publication date January 2005, (Copyright 2006) 896 pages, ISBN 0072967722 (hardbound) or 0071115838 (softbound)
Copies of the textbook are available at the "Kistabutiken"
(student bookshop), located in Electrum, level 3. Above the
restaurant. The price for the softbound edition is 675 SEK.
Note that they also have the older second edition, but we will
be using the third edition.
Note that there is on-line material for the textbook; this includes animations and other useful material.
Differences from the 3rd edition are list on page xxxi of the 3rd edition. The most significant for this course is that the 3rd edition covers: SCTP, more about security, and more examples (using ping, netstat, etc.).
Reading guide: read the entire book.
