Subject aims/Content

This course studies the basics of computer networks, with the learning structure following the OSI model. The materials discussed in this course include a review of the Layer 1 and the Layer 2 OSI Model materials, as well as the Layer 3 OSI Model, which consist of; network topology, Addressing, ICMP, Subnetting, Routing, and NAT. Discussing the Layer 4 Model of OSI which emphasizes socket programming, and an introduction to Layers 5, 6, and 7 of the OSI Model. The material in this course is more focused on Layer 3 and 4 of the OSI Model. Layers 1 and 2 of the OSI Model are discussed in more detail in the Data Communications course. To be able to take this course, students must have taken a Data Communication course.
