Description
The objective of this series of two lectures is to present the fundamentals of networking, to help those involved in scientific computing to design systems or programmes involving at-a-distance actions, as well as to better understand their behaviours. Therefore, the aim is not to dwell on the nitty-gritty details, formats, or protocols, but to extract and synthetize the knowledge useful to the non-networkers. The first lecture will focus on the transport network and will present the fundamental principles of IP, its historical limits and recent enhancements that led it to become a universal transport technology.
