Course Objectives:
 Understand the structure and organization of computer networks; including the division into
network layers, role of each layer, and relationships between the layers.
 Understand the basic concepts of application layer protocol design; including client/server
models, peer to peer models, and network naming.
 In depth understanding of transport layer concepts and protocol design; including connection
oriented and connection-less models, techniques to provide reliable data delivery, and algorithms
for congestion control and flow control.
 In depth understanding of network layer concepts and protocol design; including virtual circuit
and datagram network designs, datagram forwarding, routing algorithms, and network
interconnections.
 Understand the basic concepts of link layer properties; including error-detection and correction
techniques, multiple access protocols, point to pint protocols, and characteristics of link layer
media (including wireless links).
 Understand the basic concepts of network security concepts; including authentication, integrity,
key distribution, and system security design challenges.
Course Description:
This Course builds on principles established in the Data Communications and Networking (1303330). Topics to be
covered include: network architectures, Internet security, virtual LANs, in depth routing and discovery protocols and its
operations, wireless technologies, IPv6, Mobile IP and QoS principles.
