Course content
In recent years, the Internet has evolved and spread as an indispensable infrastructure in our lives. Nowadays, almost all information and communication devices, including computers, mobile phones, and home appliances, adopt Internet protocols. In this subject, students will study how the actual data communication is implemented and realized on the Internet.
Purpose of class
Data communication technology is essential and fundamental knowledge for research and development in the communication networking field. The purpose of this subject is to acquire knowledge about various data communication methods on the Internet. The course contents include the Internet Protocol Suite such as Ethernet, IP, TCP, and UDP, client/server system, and peer-to-peer communication.
Goals and objectives
  1. To acquire knowledge of the layered structure of communication protocols in the Internet as the foundation of data communication methods, and to understand the mechanisms of communication such as IP, TCP, and UDP.
  2. To acquire knowledge of the client/server (C/S) method, which is a fundamental data communication method, and to understand the mechanism of data communication in the C/S method.
  3. To acuire knowledge the peer-to-peer (P2P) communication method, which has been increasingly prevalent in recent years, and to understand the mechanism of data communication in the P2P method.
