Networking and Communication (NC)

The Internet and computer networks are now ubiquitous and a growing number of computing activities strongly depend on the correct operation of the underlying network. Networks, both fixed and mobile, are a key part of the computing environment of today and tomorrow. Many computing applications that are used today would not be possible without networks. This dependency on the underlying network is likely to increase in the future. The high-level learning objective of this module can be summarized as follows:

Thinking in a networked world. The world is more and more interconnected and the use of networks will continue to increase. Students must understand how the networks behave and the key principles behind the organization and operation of the networks.
Continued study. The networking domain is rapidly evolving and a first networking course should be a starting point to other more advanced courses on network design, network management, sensor networks, etc.
Principles and practice interact. Networking is real and many of the design choices that involve networks also depend on practical constraints. Students should be exposed to these practical constraints by experimenting with networking, using tools, and writing networked software.

KA Topics:

Organization of the Internet (Internet Service Providers, Content Providers, etc.)
Switching techniques (e.g., circuit, packet)
Physical pieces of a network, including hosts, routers, switches, ISPs, wireless, LAN, access point, and firewalls
Layering principles (encapsulation, multiplexing)
Roles of the different layers (application, transport, network, datalink, physical)

KA Learning Outcomes:

Articulate the organization of the Internet. [Familiarity]
List and define the appropriate network terminology. [Familiarity]
Describe the layered structure of a typical networked architecture. [Familiarity]
Identify the different types of complexity in a network (edges, core, etc.). [Familiarity]
