Course Description:

The architecture and operation of computer networks, including protocol stacking and physical level communication are introduced to the students.

It imparts knowledge of networking system basics, architecture, operation, and function, as well as how these fundamentals are reflected in contemporary network technologies. Students will gain knowledge of the underlying concepts of networks as well as how these ideas are applied (or not) to the existing network protocols and systems.

They are  also aimed to provide a deeper grasp of the elements needed to construct a network and an analysis of its performance. The Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) communication model, error detection and recovery, the functions of different networks, such as local area networks (LAN), wide area networks (WAN), and metropolitan area networks (MAN), bridges, routers, and gateways, as well as network naming and addressing, are also introduced to the students. Additionally, the TCP/IC Protocol, local and remote processes, and ISO organization will all be covered in this course.                                    Each module also covers real-time applications including multimedia - video & audio compressions, static and dynamic web content.  

Through this course, the students will become familiar with various network topologies. This course is a prerequisite for everyone interested in studying abroad
