SYNOPSIS This course is a continuation from the previous data communication course. The main purpose of this course is to gain in-depth understanding on computer networking, especially on the issues related to the protocol design. This course treats computer networking in a top-down manner i.e. by beginning at the application layer protocols and working down toward physical layer protocols. The course features the Internet and uses the Internets architecture and protocols as primary tools for studying the concept of communication networking.
