COURSE DESCRIPTION

Course Objectives

This class features the Internet, and uses the Internet’s architecture and protocols as primary subjects for studying fundamental computer networking concepts. This class also includes concepts and protocols from other network architecture but the spotlight is clearly on the Internet’s five-layer architecture: the application, transport, network, link, and physical layers by top-down approach. With the top-down approach, students not only see how popular applications and protocols work, but also learn how easy it is to create their own network applications and application-level protocols.
