CSC 317 - Computer Networks (1)

In this course, students examine the challenges of communication through dynamic networks, including the challenges of routing messages and making communication reliable and secure. The top-down approach begins with a study of application level protocols (application level protocols govern, for example, communication through the Web and via e-mail) and proceeds to a study of the lower level transport and network layer TCP/IP protocols that are at the heart of the Internet. At the still lower link layer, students explore methods for resolving addresses and allowing multiple access on local area networks. Measurement, analysis, and simulation of networks in the laboratory. Prerequisites: CSC 140 , CSC 151 , and CSC 218 . Classical and Modern Languages
