An overview of OSI and TCP/IP models and Internet architecture. Packet switching and circuit switching network technologies. Delay, loss and throughput in packet-switched networks. Analyzing network packets using a network analyzer program and network designs in a network modeling and simulation environment. Application Layer: Introduction to socket programming, application layer protocols: DNS, HTTP, FTP, SMTP, POP3, and peer-to-peer networking. Transport Layer: Principles of reliable data transfer, TCP and UDP protocols, flow control and congestion control. Network Layer: IP protocol and addressing. Routing Algorithms: Link State, Distance Vector, Hierarchical Routing, Routing in the Internet: RIP, OSPF, BGP protocols. Broadcast and multicast routing. Introduction to data link protocols, and local area networks: Ethernet and IEEE 802.11 protocols.

The Internet (TCP/IP) Protocol Hourglass

COM 362 is a one-semester introduction to computer networking theory, applications, and programming with a focus on the Internet and its applications. It covers networking topics beginning from the application-layer then going down the protocol stack (a top-down approach), allowing computer engineering students to quickly write networking applications while learning the theory and practice of computer networking. This course provides an introduction to fundamental concepts in the design and implementation of computer communication networks, their protocols, and applications. Examples will be drawn primarily from the Internet protocol suite (e.g. HTTP, SMTP, TCP, UDP, IP) using, a Network Simulation Program, a network protocol analyzer program, Wireshark, and the Java programming language. In this course, you will learn TCP/IP layers (Internet Architecure), how the Internet works, and IP packets journey from the Application Layer down to Transport Layer, Network Layer, Data Link Layer and Physical Layer through net past routers, firewalls and transatlantic cables and wireless communication media. It will be interesting to watch the following 13:00 minute Warriors-of-the-Net movie before we start this journey. You can watch the movie from here.

	MATH 210 Probability and Statistics
	A basic understanding of data structures and algorithms (COM 201/202) and COM 341 Operating Systems
	COM 102 Object Oriented Programming

This is the tentative lecture schedule. Please check this page at least once a week during the semester.
