Four links and a homework.

Wireshark program was mentioned in today's lecture. You can get it for free. Wireshark is a network sniffer and protocol analyzer software. A tool to perform to give you x-ray vision for your network traffic.

You can get canned network traffic captures. If you want to learn a bit about capture filters to perform you own capture.

Wikipedia take on ISO/OSI reference model.

And finally, there is a set of solved exercises about chapter one that you should do at home. I started translating them but I kind of got tired in the second page, so I am posting the Spanish version.

Just as a reminder, next lecture previous reading is section 2.1 of the book.

Smoking hot!

This week another speed record. Please note that for us, not only raw speed counts but also the distance  achieved here.

By the way, this week's reading is section 1.3 & 1.5.

I mistakenly mentioned section 2.1 in the classroom, that will be the reading for next week.

English fun

I mentioned the word "router" today in the classroom. I did mention that Bristish and American accent is quite different for this word. Do you want to hear 18 different pronunciations of the word?

You can read a bit about the Spanish research network and European one.

By the way, I forgot to mention next class reading are sections 1.2 & 1.3 of Kurose's book.

And just in case, here you have Chapter 1 slides from the 6th Ed of the book (similar to 5th version but finally without the annoying Comic Sans font).
