Organization

• Lectures• Overview of many subjects• Mostly P2P, core business of this course• Minor non-P2P component, useful for comparison

• Focus on specific examples/applications• Motivation of the selection given as well• Still, breadth over depth

• ~1/3 of the evaluation (see next)

Organization• Readings• Diverse sources

• Mostly research papers, balanced spectrum of venues• IETF and other normalization fora, for comparison• Sometimes there are no sources at all

• Mandatory vs optional readings• Mandatory: included in the exam (see next)• Optional: to dig further on a topic• Extensive list proposed: for your thirst of knowledge if you find a topic

particularly interesting

• Generally• A couple of optional advised readings per lecture

• Possibly • One instance of peer-instruction on a set of lectures

Organization

• Labs • Meta-information about how the scientific

community structures the study of networks• Get a feeling of diverse methodologies for

the study of Internet and P2P applications• Optional and interchangeable, we may skip

some to leave time for projects• Projects• 2/3 of the evaluation (see next)• Initial discussion today; mentoring during the lab• Reduced volume of lectures allow to have

more time for projects (last year feedback)

Organization

• Website: http://www.enst.fr/~drossi

Evaluation

• Final mark = 2/3 project + 1/3 exam• Exam– QCM on lectures + mandatory reading– Peak time of your P2P knowledge

=> no material allowed– Deterrent for random answers

=> wrong answers may have negative points

Evaluation• Project

– Project mark = ½ report + ½ presentation– Team format

• ~2 people per team (soft constraints)

– Report format • Like the papers for the reading• Submission to a venue is a possibility (we’ll talk about this later)• Proceedings of INF570 for next year (cfr the submitted paper and review)• Missing report = 0/20

– Presentation format • Plenary session, oral exam, everybody participates• Presentation duration : 15 minutes • Follow-up questions: 15 minutes• Missing presentation = 0/20

– See detailed instructions on the Website

Topics

• Internet (the underlay)• Applications (the overlay)• Multimedia– Voice/video

• Data– Filesharing/lookup

• Cross-topic– Overlay maintenance– Underlay awareness

Feedback

• Your feedback highly appreciated– Don’t hesitate to interact/suggest/propose!– At the very last day, after the QCM exam, I will

collect (anonymous) feedback sheets on a USB pen– Template on the website
