Course Description

Intended as a first course in communication networks for upper-level undergraduate students. Topics
include basic techniques for channel transmission, error control, flow control, multiplexing, switching,
routing, signaling, and scheduling. Students will also learn practical aspects of the Internet and telephone
Networks

Course Objectives:

 Give students an understanding of the basic principles of computer networking

 Give students an overview of the main technologies used in computer networks.
 Give students an overview of internetworking principles and how the Internet protocols, routing, and
applications operate.
 Give students the basic background in computer networks that will allow them to practice in this
field, and that will form the foundation for more advanced courses in networking.

Course Outlines:

 Computer Networks and the Internet

 Application Layer
 Transport Layer
 Network Layer
 Data Link Layer and Local Area Networks Student

Learning Outcomes:

Upon the successful completion of this course students will be able to:
 Evaluate the operation and performance of practical data link protocols using the principles of
framing, error detection and correction, ARQ and multiple access control.
 Apply the principles of network layer design to the analysis and evaluation of routing algorithms,
congestion control techniques, internetworking and addressing;
 Apply the concepts of addressing and address resolution, connection establishment, reliable
transport, flow control and congestion control to install a simple client-server network using multiple
stations and multiple media types.
 Understand the legal issues and responsibilities of the tradeoff between the user's privacy and the
organization's ownership of the network and its local and global impact on an organization.
