| Course Goals |
The domain of communication is advancing rapidly; from simple NTA architecture it has progressed to Mesh IoT further to V2X infrastructure. For the reason its important not only on what communication is the form today, but also on how and why they are designed the way they are. The objective of this course is to provide a strong conceptual understanding to computer networks and its infrastrual concepts. By the end of the course, the students will be to: 1) Understand the TCP/IP protocol suite and the working of the Internet. 2) Form an understanding of the principles upon which the global Internet was designed. 3) Understand basic terminology so that students can understand networking research papers. |
