Learning
Objectives | On completion of the course, students will be able to: - describe the hardware devices used to create a network
- give examples of networking technologies, and examine the associated standards
- describe the essential features of a networking protocol
- describe various congestion control, error detection, and error correction schemes
- create a local area network and a model intranet by configuring networking hardware and software in a controlled laboratory environment
- create low-level client-server application programs using the socket API
- demonstrate (simulate) the processes of packet construction, packet switching, and packet deconstruction
- apply a route discovery algorithm to determine the shortest path in an internet represented as a weighted graph
- compare/contrast cable networking and wireless networking
- use a variety of networking services, such as DNS, NAT and ARP
- associate networking functions with the appropriate layers of the ISO/OSI networking layering model, and associate internetworking functions with the appropriate layers of the TCP/IP layering model
- describe network security issues and some of the methods for managing those issues
