This website is an archive of presentation slides/notes I have created in close cooperation with Herbert Haas from 1995 up to 2016 for my lectures I have given at the TU-WIEN as external lecturer of the Institute of Computer Technology (ICT).
The lecture modules provide first an introduction into nearly all data communication topics (historical, legacy and modern)
and second a compact background reference for recalling already understood topics just on demand.
Still I regulary improve the lecture notes marked differently by higher version numbers.
You can use these modules freely on your own risk first for you private self-study purpose and second for non-commercial education (e.g. universities, schools, ect.)
as long as you take the course material as it is and do not change the material in any way. Please contact me if you have other plans.
Any constructive feedback on the material (e.g. errors found, mistakes, usefulness, enhancements, contributions, links ...) is welcome.
