Analytical Performance Evaluation of Communication Networks

The lecture provides students with knowledge and skills in the analytical performance evaluation of communication networks. The module focuses on quantitative methods for modeling, analyzing, and dimensioning communication systems, with an emphasis on queueing theory and network calculus, and prepares students to rigorously assess the performance of modern networked infrastructures.
