Course Objectives: | The objective of the course is to gain a foundational understanding of computer networks, focusing on the OSI model and layers. The students will learn how these layers interact and apply across diverse networking technologies. The course will also help the students to learn essential skills for problem-solving and effective communication in networking contexts. |
Course Content: | This course offers an introductory understanding of computer networks, with a specific emphasis on the OSI model and its layers. cover each layer in detail. The course covers a range of topics including physical layer concepts, data link layer protocols, network layer routing and addressing, transport layer mechanisms, and application layer protocols. The students will gain knowledge on how these layers interact and how they are implemented in different networking technologies. |
The students who have succeeded in this course;
1) Understand the functions and characteristics of each OSI layer and how they work together to support network communication. 2) Examine the different networking devices, protocols, and technologies used at each OSI layer, including their advantages and limitations. 3) Analyze and explain the concept of IP addressing, including the structure of an IP address, the differences between IPv4 and IPv6, and how IP addresses are assigned and managed. 4) Explore the functions and characteristics of the transport layer, including the services provided, the protocols used, and how they ensure reliable data transfer. 5) Comprehend the functions and characteristics of the session, presentation, and application layers of the OSI model, including how they work together to provide end-to-end network services to user applications. |
