Teaching Methodology
Introduction to
Computer
Networks
What is Computer Network,
Network Goals and Motivations,
Application of Networks, Network
Topologies,
Classification of Networks.
Students are already exposed
to technologies that involve
Computer Networks. Hence,
a group discussion will be
conducted to discuss need
and applications of
networks. Examples of
different kinds of networks
will also be discussed.
Here basics of network
communication will be
taught using examples of
Postal System, Transport
system and translator
system
Network software:
Network Protocols,
Protocol Hierarchies,
Design issues for the Layers,
Connection Oriented and Connectionless
Services,
Teaching Strategies
& Resources
