Computer Science 653 - Computer Networking

An introduction to fundamental concepts in the design and implementation of computer communication networks, their protocols, and applications. Topics include: layered network architectures, applications, network programming interfaces (e.g., sockets), transport, congestion, routing and data link protocols, local area networks, emerging high-speed networks, network management, and network security. Examples drawn primarily from the Internet (e.g., TCP, UDP, and IP) protocol suite. A rudimentary understanding of computer architecture and operating systems helpful.
