Learning outcomes of the course unit

Students are able to configurate network connection to internet, configure basic services, control network traffic, detect and correct network failures. They are capable implement a new network application. They are familiar with modern network application for data, voice and video transmission. They know tools for network administration and are able to use them. They are capable to create a secure network connection over internet and secure computer against misuse from network.
