Course/Module description:
67594 DIGITAL NETWORK IN MODERN TIME
Computer networks play a major role in almost every aspect of
computing nowadays. In this course, we will learn the basic building blocks of modern computer networks and the theoretical insights behind them.
We will focus on Internet architecture and protocols, covering
the link layer through the application layer. In addition, we will cover more advanced topics such as performance analysis of network protocols, mobile communication, and security.
Course/Module aims:
A thorough understanding of computer networks and major media protocols in use today.
Learning outcomes - On successful completion of this module, students should be able to:
The students will learn how computers communicate, how important communication protocols were designed and what were they critical considerations in their architectures. The students will also learn the layered communication model and what level of abstraction each layer provides the next.
