Co-requisites: 04:547:202 Object-Oriented Programming Description: This course examines network technologies and architectures, telecommunication networks, computer architectures, and multifunction networks, and with specific focus on intranet and internet technologies. It emphasizes network topology, deployment scenarios, and proper technologies for different needs, the impact of internetworking on business communication solutions, and enterprise network planning and management. Topics considered include multiple access protocols, network layer and routing algorithms, transport layer, flow, error and congestion control, TCP/IP protocols, naming protocols discovery, physical transmission, Internet application protocols: SMTP, HTTP, DNS, SNMP, and emerging network technologies. Synopsis: Objectives/Competencies
The student will be able to:
- demonstrate a knowledge of network theory, design issues, and configurations in heterogeneous network environments;
- analyze various ways in which computer processes communicate in a network;
- identify the types, uses, and functions of operating systems and wired and wireless communication systems;
- analyze and translate diagrammatic expressions of network configurations and topologies;
- understand Open System Interconnection Model (OSI), TCP/IP 4 Layer Model, and alternative models, and use them to design efficient network applications;
- understand bandwidth, storewidth, and network latency and how they affect the various applications in computers, telecommunications and other media, particularly in business environments;
- distinguish among various network types such as Ethernet, token ring, FDDI, ATM, and Aloha;
- discuss the relationship between cost and performance in the implementation of WANs.
- understand how routing works, and the different routing algorithms such as flooding and chocking;
- simulate the exchange of data between multiple nodes in heterogeneous environments and understand where network problems can occur and what scenarios work for what types of data.
