Course Goal / Objective
This course aims to teach the basic principles, architectures and protocols of computer networks. Students will learn OSI and TCP/IP models, IP addressing, routing protocols, network security and wireless networking technologies. The course is supported by practical applications as well as theoretical knowledge.
Course Content
Basic principles and architecture of computer networks; OSI and TCP/IP reference models; network components (network card, switch, router, access point); wired and wireless communication media; application layer protocols (HTTP, FTP, DNS, SMTP); transport layer protocols (TCP, UDP), connection setup and port management; IP addressing, subnetting, IPv4 and IPv6 configurations; routing protocols (RIP, OSPF), MAC addressing and Ethernet protocol; basic concepts of network security (encryption, VPN, firewalls); network monitoring and management tools (SNMP, ping, traceroute); introduction to socket programming; fundamentals of software defined networks (SDN), QoS and cloud computing networks; network design and hands-on work with simulation tools.
Course Precondition
