This course covers advanced topics in computer networks, with a blend
of theoretical and practical topics. On the theoretical side, the
syllabus will cover mathematical foundations of networking, including
discussions of queuing theory, control theory, information theory, and
optimization. On the practical side, the syllabus will cover concepts
