Description

Objective:

The objective of this course is to decode and demystify the global internet and LAN systems. The Internet has become one of the most important components of our life. We browse the Web, check e-mails, make VoIP phone calls, and have video conferences via computers.

Learning Outcomes:

  • describe the processes in each layer of the network protocol that enables different networks to share resources
  • describe the basic network protocols in each layer of a TCP/IP stack and the purpose of each protocol
  • recognize and differentiate between the various services and functionalities of specific mechanisms in each protocol and their usage in a computer network
  • explain the role of the network request for comment (RFC)
  • compare and contrast each layer in the TCP/IP model with those in the OSI model
  • define socket programming and explain its role in application processing
  • describe IP addressing and explain its purpose
  • explain packet collisions and how they are corrected in the link layer
  • define CSMA and describe its use in the link layer
  • describe and compare application protocols such as VOIP and IPTV
  • explain TCP/IP security related issues
  • describe the architecture of a computer network and explain how each device in a network communicates with each other

General Topics:

  • Networking fundamentals
  • Networking fundamentals: protocols
  • The application layer
  • The transport layer
  • The network layer
  • The link layer
  • Multimedia, security, and cloud computation over the internet. All of these applications are made possible by networking computers together, and this complex network of computers is usually referred to as the Internet. This course is designed to give you a clear understanding of how networks, from in-home local area networks, or LANS, to the massive and global Internet, are built and how they allow us to use computers to share information and communicate with one another
