Computer Network
1. Course description This course provides students with the foundational knowledge of computer network developing through layers of reference models from the Link, Network, Transport, Session, Presentation and Application layer. The protocols and services of each layers are throughly discussed, and network security will also be learned. 2. Course Goals - Explain the importance of reference models in the computer network subject matter; - E xplain the transmission of data over the network aligning with network protocols through procol stack, the data unit at each layer such as datagrams, packets or frames; - Explain the functions and characteristic of protocols in TCP/IP protocol suite; - Analyze network data unit at frame (Ethernet), packet (IP) and TCP Stream level; - ...
