Description:
This is an introductory course to computer networks. We will cover topics such as Direct Link Networks (i.e. Encoding, Error Detection, Reliable transmission, Ethernet, and etc.), Packet Switching (i.e. Switching and Forwarding, Bridges and LAN Switches, Cell Switching, and etc.), Internetworking (i.e. IP, Routing, Global Internet, MPLS, and etc.), and End-to-End Protocols (i.e. UDP, TCP, and etc.).
You must also register for 40-416 Computer Networks Lab in the same semester
Prerequisites: 40-181 Probability and Statistics
Corequisites: 40-424 Operating Systems
Textbook: Computer Networks: A Systems Approach (Fourth Edition), by Larry L. Peterson, Bruce S. Davie, March 2007.
Acknowledgment:
This course is primarily based on the Computer Networks course taught by Jennifer Rexford at Princeton University.
Policies:
- Grading policy is as follows. This is tentative.
- 10% Quiz
- 40% Homeworks
- 20% Midterm
- 30% Final
There will be no exceptions to the following rules:
- If you turn in your assignments one day late you will loose 25% of the grade, two days will cost you 50% and three days 75% of the grade. No submissions will be accepted after the third day.
- Cell Phones must be turned off when you are in class.
- There will be a zero tolerance policy for cheating/copying HWs. The first time you are caught, you will receive a zero for the task at hand. If you are caught for a second time, you will fail the course.
- Providing your assignment to someone else is considered cheating on your behalf.
