COMPUTER NETWORKS
This is an introductory course to computer networks. The emphasis will be on the basic performance and engineering tradeoffs in the design and implementation of computer networks. The goal is for students to learn not only what computer networks are and how they work today, but also why they are designed the way they are and how they are likely to evolve in the future. We will draw examples primarily from the Internet. Topics to be covered include: routing, addressing, Subnetting, naming, Network Layers, Wireless Networks, and Network Design.
