Multi Media Communication Networks Laboratory

9352333 Saadawi本项目通过加强现有的局域网实验室，建立多媒体通信网络实验室，指导大四本科生了解并引领这一技术变革。实验室的重点放在实际的动手实验上，这些实验处理识别和解决与网络操作和管理、性能和通信协议有关的问题，特别是在最先进的设施上的多媒体服务应用。新的实验包括一系列日益复杂的问题，从监控每个网络组件的性能到设计应用程序，再到在不同的业务接入点多路传输和接收多媒体业务。该实验室包括来自LAN和WAN的代表性标准化网络和服务：以太网、FDDI、ISDN、X.25、帧中继和ATM（异步传输模式）。配备视频和语音功能的多媒体工作站以及协议分析仪是实验室学生进入网络的接入点。接口、网桥和交换设备连接网络。实现了TCP/IP、OSI协议和网络管理软件。通过先进的多媒体服务，让学生体验到真实的网络环境。此外，本实验所亦加强了本科通讯网络设计课程，鼓励学生进行进一步的研究活动。＊＊＊

9352333 Saadawi This project establishes a Multimedia Communication Networks Laboratory by enhancing the current Local Area Networks Laboratory, to instruct senior undergraduate students to understand and lead this technological evolution. The focus of the Laboratory is placed on the practical hands-on experiments that deal with identifying and resolving problems associated with network operation and management, performance and communication protocols, particularly with multimedia service applications on the state-of-the-art facilities. New experiments include a series of increasingly complex problems ranging from monitoring performance of each network component to designing an application program to multiplex, transmit and receive multimedia services at different service access points. The Laboratory includes representative standardized networks and services from LAN and WAN: Ethernet, FDDI, ISDN, X.25, Frame Relay and ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode). Multimedia workstations equipped with video and voice capabilities and protocol analyzers are access points to the networks for laboratory students. Interface, bridge and switching equipment connects the networks. TCP/IP, OSI protocols and network management softwares are implemented. The laboratory gives students practical experiences of the real network environment with advanced multimedia services. Furthermore, this laboratory enhances and strengthens the undergraduate communication network design course, encouraging students to pursue further research activities. ***
