The Internet is used across a wide range of fields. Understanding its mechanisms and underlying technologies is essential
not only for those involved in developing network-based services but also for anyone engaged in IT system development.
This course provides a comprehensive explanation of the basic mechanisms of the Internet, covering all layers from the physical layer to the application layer.
This course provides a comprehensive explanation of the basic mechanisms of the Internet, covering all layers from the physical layer to the application layer.
Students will learn the fundamental mechanisms of the Internet and gain a deep understanding of the purposes, functions, and
interactions of each layer.
They will also learn how to evaluate network performance using metrics such as throughput, fairness, and robustness, and understand how these metrics affect real-world applications.
