Course Overview
This course is an introduction to computer networks and is suitable for undergraduates and beginning graduate students. The course will investigate computer networks and network protocols from both a conceptual and a design standpoint. The primary focus of the course will be on the architecture, protocols and software used in networks that comprise the Internet. Expect us to cover the majority of the topics in the Peterson and Davie text. Major topics of this course will include:
The following class schedule is updated frequently to reflect what we have covered and what we plan to cover. It includes slides which form the basis of what is covered in class.
Class Policies
Prerequisites: CS 537 or consent of instructor.
Collaboration: I encourage discussions with others to clarify questions about homework problems and programming assignment problem statements. However programming solutions must be your own! (programming projects will be done in two person teams). Programming projects will be demoed outside of class and source code will be submitted for review.
Exams and quizzes, of course, must be entirely your own work.
Homework: Homework assignments will be made to reinforce the materials covered in class. Homework assignments will not be graded! Solutions will be provided for all homework problems.
Incompletes: No Incompletes will be given
