Advanced Networking course

These pages contain the material and assignments for the Advanced Networking course (ELEC-E7321) at Aalto University. The assignment descriptions refer to MyCourses learning platform available for Aalto students enrolled on the course. If you are not enrolled on the course, but are just interested on the topic, feel free to try out the tasks nevertheless.

Most of the code examples and assignment templates in this material are provided in the Rust language, some examples that are closer to the kernel and device interface level also in C. However, you may use any language of your preference for the assignments. Some of the assignments closer to the system-level may not be doable with higher-level interpreted languages, though.
