COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Students will learn how to design, build, and troubleshoot an inter/intra network. Topics to be considered include LAN/WAN interconnectivity issues, physical transmission options, integration of voice and data, transport methods, and network protocol architectures.
COURSE OBJECTIVES:
Fundamental concepts of Inter-Intra Networking including the explaining the concept of LAN/WAN interconnectivity issues such as new developments. Student will examine computer networks and the Internet. The focusing on packet switching. Introducing the motivation for using packets, and then describing basic network topologies and wiring schemes, as well as the characteristics used to categorize networks as LANs, WANs, local loops, public or private, and connection-oriented or connectionless. The focusing on the Internet protocols in depth. Describing internet architecture and routers, internet addressing, address binding, and the TCP/IP protocols. In the lab, student has experiments that can be performed on variety of hardware, including a single computer or a set of computers on local area networks. Moreover class will emphasize on packet analysis and some programming and research. Students will explorer the physical transmission options, integration of voice and data, network protocol architectures and others. Students will practice knowledge in real life problem.
