Objective: This is an introductory course in computer networks. The emphasis will be on the basic performance and engineering tradeoffs in the design and implementation of computer networks. The objective is to learn not only what computer networks are and how they work today, but also why they are designed the way they are and how they are likely to evolve in the future. Prerequisite: knowledge of Programming language, basic probability distribution DETAILED SYLLABUS Units Topics Duration (hours) 1 Introduction: 3 Introduction to computer networks, classification of computer networks, topology, layering and protocols, OSI reference model, TCP/IP model, switching and its classification, performance issues (BW, latency , delay etc.), network standardization organizations 2 Physical layer and media: 2 Analog and digital signals, transmission impairment, data rate limits, Guided media, unguided media, structured cabling 3 Data link layer: 4 Services provided to network layer, error detection and correction techniques (parity checks, checksumming methods, CRC, Hamming code), reliable transmission ( stop and wait, sliding window protocol with its variant) 4 Medium access control sublayer: 9 Channel allocation problem, random access protocols (ALOHA, Carrier Sense Multiple Access, CSMA/CD, CSMA/CA), Controlled access (Reservation, Polling, Token passing), Channelization (FDMA, TDMA, CDMA), Ethernet (cabling, encoding, frame structure, binary exponential backoff algorithm, performance, switched Ethernet, fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet) data link layer switching, X.25, PPP, HDLC. Introduction to ATM, Frame Relay and WLAN. 5 Network Layer: 7 Forwarding and routing, VC and Datagram networks, router internals, Routing algorithms ( optimality principle, shortest path routing, flooding, Distance Vector, link state, hierarchical, broadcast, multicast routing, routing in Ad-hoc network, node look up in peer to peer networks), congestion control algorithms, QoS. IPv4 datagram format, IP addresses.
