ENTERPRISE NETWORK ARCHITECTURE

Course Description

This course gives basic working principles and the architecture underlying computer networks, and will go over the main components and applications of TCP/IP and the Internet. Course especially focused on Application layer architectures (client/server, peer-to-peer) and protocols (HTTP-web, SMTP-mail, etc), Transport layer operation (reliable transport, congestion and flow control, UDP, TCP);Network layer operation (routing, addressing etc) After completing this course, students have gained the basic knowledge to understand the architecture of the Internet and how it has evolved. Also be able to understand how the Internet works, design and code their own TCP/IP applications and protocols, and solve simple configuration and performance problems that arise in practice.
