Course Objectives The goal of this course is to familiarize students with the concepts of data communication, computer networks, and Internetworking. At the end of this course, students will be able to understand the principles of computer networking, including protocol features, protocol layering, addressing, routing, and basic network security issues. Students will be able to enumerate the architectural structures of the ISO/OSI and TCP/IP and explain functions of each layer. TCP/IP layers and their network traffic will be analyzed using dedicated tools such as TCPDUMP and Wireshark. Client-server programs will be developed by using the Java socket library.
Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • define network protocol structures and functions,
  • explain the structures and functions of data link and MAC layers,
  • discuss the network layer concept and local area network (LN) design,
  • express the working principles of transport layer protocols (TCP and UDP),
  • monitor the network traffic using packet analysis tools such as Wireshark and TCPDUMP,
  • implement client-server applications using Python or Java socket programming library.
Course Description Alongside each layer and protocols of computer networks, the following topics will also be discussed: OSI model of network; MAC protocol; TCP and UDP protocols; error control, detection and correction; IPv4; routing; socket programming; network security.
