Introduction

Advanced network management entails monitoring and controlling various network devices on today's networks in order to provide a more reliable, secure and efficient network environment.
This course focuses on recent advances in networking and management technologies. The course will briefly review the architecture of Internet and its protocols, and discuss various operation and management issues.
