Students are introduced to the concepts of network communications using the 5-layer Internet model, which consists of the physical, data link, network, transport, and applications layers. Students learn how information is transmitted, how errors in transmission are removed, how data frames are routed in a network, how transmission flow control is achieved, and what services are provided by standard TCP/IP networks from the application viewpoint. By the end of this course, students should understand how data communications operate and should be able to design a basic computer network.
