What You'll Learn: A Detailed Syllabus

This course covers a wide range of topics, including:

1. Computer Network Fundamentals: Explore computer network basics, data communication types, casting methods, peer-to-peer vs. client-server networks, network types, and network topologies (including hybrid).
2. OSI Model: Understand the OSI model, its layers, and compare TCP vs. UDP and the OSI model vs. TCP/IP model. Learn about transmission media, IP addresses, MAC addresses, and port addresses.
3. Data Link Layer: Delve into the data link layer, covering transmission delay, ARQ protocols (Stop & Wait, Go Back N, Selective Repeat), channel capacity, media access protocols (FDMA, TDMA, CDMA, Polling, Reservation, Token Passing), and ALOHA protocols (Pure ALOHA, Slotted ALOHA). Learn about CSMA/CD and CSMA/CA.
4. Error Detection and Correction: Master error detection techniques like VRC, LRP, Checksum, CRC, and Hamming Codes. Understand error detection and correction capabilities and minimum Hamming distance.
5. LAN Protocols: Explore framing, Ethernet (IEEE 802.3), Wireless LAN (IEEE 802.11), and Token Ring (IEEE 802.5) protocols. Learn about CSMA protocols and flow control protocols.
6. Network Devices: Identify and compare repeaters, hubs, bridges, switches, routers, and brouters. Understand network segments, collision domains, broadcast domains, and the Spanning Tree Protocol.
7. Network Layer: Explore logical vs. physical addressing, IP addressing (classful addressing, subnetting, CIDR, supernetting), IP frame format, fragmentation, IP broadcasting, localhost/loopback, ARP, RARP, BOOTP, DHCP, public vs. private IP, NAT, ICMP, and routing algorithms (non-adaptive, distance vector, link state). Understand circuit switching, packet switching, and message switching. Also covers IPv6 and its features.
8. Transport Layer: Understand the transport layer, TCP frame format, port numbers, sequence numbers, acknowledgment numbers, TCP connections, flow control, sliding window protocol, retransmission, congestion control, and timers. Also covers UDP and its frame format.
9. Application Layer: Learn about DNS, SMTP, POP, IMAP, HTTP/HTTPS, FTP, SFTP, and TFTP protocols.
