Computer Networks

Network design principles. The Medium Access Control (MAC)
sublayer. The channel allocation problem. Multiple access
protocols (ALOHA, CSMA). Ethernet (IEEE 802.3 standard).
Wireless LANs (IEEE 802.11 Standard). Internetworking. TCP/IP
protocol stack. The Internet Protocol (IP). Addressing and
Subnetting. NAT - Network Address Translation. Internet Control
Protocols (ICMP, ARP). Interdomain Routing (BGP, RIP, OSPF). IPv4,
IPv6, mobile IP. TCP protocol. UDP protocol. Usage of simulation
packages.

Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able
to:
• understand the central theories, and protocols in the fields
of computer networks
• describe and analyze the hardware, software, components
of a network and the interrelations.
• explain networking protocols and their hierarchical
relationship hardware and software.
• compare protocol models and select appropriate protocols
for a particular design.
• explain concepts and theories of networking and apply
them to various situations, classifying networks, analyzing
performance, and implementing new technologies.
