A Global History of the Middle Ages? (MDVL0053)

Globalisation is often understood as a modern phenomenon, but medieval historians are currently debating the extent to which it is desirable and feasible to write a history of global connections and comparisons for the period between 500 and 1500 – an era during which, in many parts of Eurasia, new states emerged, religious systems expanded and mercantile networks were consolidated.

The purpose of this module is to think conceptually and methodologically about the challenges of writing a global history of the Middle Ages, and to question conventional understandings of periodisation, geographical areas, and meanings of the ‘global’. Students can make original and thought-provoking contributions to what is an evolving debate and are encouraged to think about their own research interests within a global context.

Introduction to Internet Protocol Networks (ELEC0099)

This Module provides an Introduction to IP networks and Data networks in general. It follows a bottom up approach, starting in layer 2 with

coverage of Ethernet and IEEE 802.11. It then covers the essentials of IP protocols (IPv4 and IPv6) with a big emphasis on network routing, both intra and inter domain. Congestion and flow control is taught by detailing the TCP protocol and a smaller emphasis in UDP and newer

congestion control protocols like RTCP and DCCP. Quality-of-service is examined in detail by looking at the fundamentals of queuing theory and the Integrated and Differentiated services architecture. The course finishes with analysis of upper layer functionality, namely session and application layer protocols and security. The course contains a lab session where the theoretical concepts are illustrated with small exercises.
