Course Description
This course builds on the fundamentals of computer networking and covers
network programming, software application-related, protocol-related and
security-related issues involved in the Internet. A specific protocol suite will be
examined in detail. More advanced topics that build on the student’s
understanding of network protocols are also introduced, such as network
security, mobile networks and the future Internet.
Learning Objectives for this
course
1.
Gain an understanding of a protocol suite and the core functionality defined
in the application, transport, network , and link layers,
2.
Gain an understanding of how network-based software applications interface
with (and across) the network.
3.
Gain an understanding of network addressing and related protocols and
issues
4.
Gain an understanding of network routing and theory, and related protocols
5.
Gain an understanding of network security and related protocols and
mechanism, focusing at the application, transport and network layers
6.
Be able to implement basic network programs and use simple network
commands (ie. Packet tracing, etc)
Be introduced to emerging technologies relating to the mobile and wireless
networks, and the Internet.
Contribution of the course to
the program outcomes
1. Demonstrate an advanced understanding of the capabilities and limits of
computation, hardware and software systems, and software development
2. Analyze complex problems in the computing discipline and design
solutions that integrate hardware and software, and that are technologically
appropriate and theoretically sound
