Next Generation Network Technologies

Code: ENCTNS501 · Credits: 4 · Program: M.Sc. Network & Cybersecurity · Year/Part: I / I

This subject is the conceptual backbone of the MSNCS first semester. It walks through the three big architectural shifts in networking that happened in the last fifteen years — addressing (IPv4 → IPv6), control (hardware → software), and access (wired → 5G / IoT) — and then turns to what is coming next: named data, intent-based control, and quantum networking. The notes are written as prose, not slides; expect ~50 minutes of reading per chapter.
