Basic Networking Concepts: Goals
and applications of Computer Networks; Topologies; Method of Processing-
Centralized and Distributed Processing; Categories of Networks ‐ LAN, MAN, WAN, Peer-to-Peer, Server-Based and Broadcast networks.
Network Architecture: Concept
of protocols & services; OSI model and functions of its layers; TCP/IP
reference model.
Data Communication Concepts: Components of a data
communication system, Transmission modes; Physical layer- transmission media ‐ guided and wireless media; introduction to switching (circuit,
message and packet) and multiplexing (frequency division and time division);
Buses, Network Adapters, and LAN Connection Devices: Bus Architectures, FireWire, Network Adapters, Network Adapter
Connectors, LAN Connection Devices, Repeaters, Bridges, Hubs, Switches,
Internetwork Devices, Routers, Firewalls, Gateways, Voice over Internet
Protocol (VoIP), Channel Service Unit (CSU) / Data Service Unit (DSU), Modulator-Demodulator
(Modem), How DSL Works.
Medium Access Control
and LANs: Multiple Access protocols of MAC sub layer ‐ ALOHA, 1‐persistent, p‐persistent and non‐persistent CSMA, CSMA/CD,
Collision free protocols, Limited
contention protocols, Wavelength Division Multiple Access, GSM, CDMA; IEEE
Standard 802 for LANs and MANs‐ Ethernet, token bus, token ring.
Logical Addressing:
The IP protocol, IP datagram format, IP addressing, Subnetting.
Routing: Deterministic and
Adaptive routing; Centralized and distributed routing; shortest‐path; flooding; flow based; optimal; distance vector, link‐state, hierarchical; routing for mobile hosts; broadcast and
multicast routing;
The
Transport Layer: The Transport Service, Elements
of Transport Protocols, A Simple Transport Protocol, The Internet Transport
Protocols (TCP & UDP).
Network
Design, Administration and Management: Network Design Considerations,
Wired Networks, Wireless Networking, Wireless Networking Architectures,
Phoneline Networking, Future Trends in Networking, Network Operating Systems,
Network Administration, Workgroups, Domains, User Accounts, Security, System
Restoration, Redundant Systems, Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS), Managing
and Monitoring Performance, Managing Processor Time, Managing Memory, Changing
Visual Effects, Performance, Event Viewer, Quality of Service (QoS), Storage
Options, Network Data Storage; Introduction to Simple Network Management
Protocol (SNMP).
The
Application Layer: DNS – Domain Name System, Electronic Mail (SMTP),
FTP, HTTP, The World Wide Web, Multimedia, Telnet.
