CS455 Topics in Computer Science:
Fiber-Optic Technologies
| Course Description( 3 credits ) This course (offered on a timely basis) provides an in-depth understanding of the fiber-optic technologies and architecture of storage area networks. The fiber-optic-based network design approaches are reviewed to meet specific communications requirements and the implementation issues of storage area networks technologies to the various application environments, as well as the emerging technologies and standards. Topics include: fiber-optic-based network architecture, interconnection between fiber-optic-based networks and the Internet; fiber-optic-based network topologies; layered network architectures, transmission media (fiber-optic cabling), communication security, communications architecture and protocols for various fiber-optic-based networks including storage area networks. Prerequisites : CS455 Local Area Networks. Previously taught :
