Second term, Second Lab

You can download it from here. Some work is to be done at home and brought to the lab.

Remember to read section 4.4.3 of Kurose for next lecture.

Next lecture reading

Next lecture is about routing algorithms.  Recommended reading is Kurose's 4.5.

Back to the lab

The first lab of the second term is out.

See you next Wednesday 8:00am in the lab.

All hosts IPv6 address

I guess I will mention this tomorrow in the classroom.

Next lecture materials

José Manuel asked about the lack of broadcast addresses in IPv6. Broadcast addressing has been removed for IPv6 but Multicast remains and Anycast has been added. But please note that reaching all the nodes on the local link (similar to IPv4 broadcast) can be achieved with IPv6 address ff02::1.

Some of the special addresses in IPv6 can be found here. A more detailed summary can be found on Wikipedia. You can see it is not as simple as IPv4.

Next lecture reading is Kurose's 4.4.2.

Some sub-netting and super-netting exercises are available. Feel free to choose four of them and send them solved to me by email before February 24th.

Some review questions

This is some homework due February 17th (only three of these questions of your choice need to be answered). Click on the text to see a lager version of it.

Next lecture previous reading is Kurose's 4.2.2 & 4.4.1.

Interesting video about Wifi security

We are not yet there, but it will be covered during this second term. I have found this video interesting to watch as it contains several sensible recommendations about securing wifi networks like the one you may have at home.




You may also find interesting this documentary, but this time you'll need to find it for yourself, as I am not aware of an steaming version of it.
