Computer and Data Communication Networks I - 525.641

This course provides a comprehensive overview of computer and data communication networks, with emphasis on analysis and modeling. Basic communications principles are reviewed as they pertain to communication networks. Networking principles covered include layered network architecture, data encoding, static and multi-access channel allocation methods (for LAN and WAN), ARQ retransmission strategies, framing, routing strategies, transport protocols, and emerging high-speed networks. In, addition, this course will cover some of the routing protocols, such as RIP, OSPF, BGP, and communications protocols such as IEEE 802.3, IEEE 802.11, SIP, DHCP, DNS, SMPT, and HTTP.
