********** This course may be conducted online for Fall Semester 2021 depending on the covid19 pandemic situation, etc. **********
This lecture will introduce the basic foundation of Computer Networks. Indeed, Computer Networks such as the Internet is now part of every day life and it is essential for future engineers to understand its underlying communication mechanisms. This class will first present the requirements for enabling computer communications and it will emphasize on the layered networking architecture models. It will therefore describe in details the OSI model as a reference, and present all the communication functionalities at each layer. Then, the main part of this class will focus on the Internet architecture and the TCP/IP model; main Internet protocols and applications will be presented (http, dns, tcp, udp, ip, etc.). Network traffic will also be investigated with tools such as Wireshark during practical tutorial classes.
