This is an introductory course in computer networks. In particular, it concentrates on the Internet technology. It first introduces the OSI and TCP/IP network architecture models. The rest of the course is organized according to the TCP/IP architecture model. It studies the implementation principles and design issues at each layer of the model. Lecture topics include: OSI and TCP/IP models, data transmission basics, data-link protocols, local area networks, wide-area networks, routing algorithms, Internet structure, TCP/IP protocol suite, and application Layer protocols. Laboratory work focuses on the implementation of a point-to-point communication protocol and the network programming with BSD socket.
