Description and Motivation
Our study of computer networking will center on the Internet. We will study the underlying hardware and
software, the services it offers, and the applications it runs. Some believe
that an "internet" is a nominalization; it is an entity that exists
by name only. Universal service, the
prime goal of an internetwork, exists by deftly combining software and hardware
into a virtual network system, where the communication system is an
abstraction. The Internet is characterized by its ability to provide universal
end-to-end service worldwide.
In this course, we study what is required to make the illusion of an
internetwork a reality. We review the functionality of routers, the TCP/IP
reference model and its protocols.
Interestingly, we will study the TCP/IP model from the top down. We will start by studying the application
level. This is the level of current
growth in networking. Many recent
innovations such as video and audio streaming take place at the application
level. We will study the underlying
paradigm of client-server interaction, and how transport level protocols
realize this. We will learn how to code clients and servers as well as spend
some time looking at E-mail, FTP, and World Wide Web clients and servers. We
will perform socket programming in both C++ and Java, and then discuss some of
the underlying activities at the network and data link levels. We will culminate
our pursuits by exploring some advanced topics of networking including network
simulation, multimedia networking, network security, and network management.
Objectives:
·
To
acquire a general knowledge of networking parlance. This includes the plethora of of terms and acronyms that permeate
the field.
·
To
have the following programming skills:
·
to
program clients and (iterative and concurrent) servers that work
together in C++
·
to
write a web server and client in Java
·
to
simulate packet reassembly from fragments and fragments of fragments
·
to successfully use and program the networking
simulation tool OPNET
·
To
understand the intricacies and complexity of translating location identifiers
including DNS names, IP addresses, and physical addresses
·
To
compare and contrast the underlying transmission techniques of multimedia
networking with data networking
