Course description This course is to provide students with an overview of data
communication and computer networks concepts and fundamentals.
Topics to be covered include: data communication concepts and
techniques in a layered network architecture, communications
switching and routing, types of communication, network congestion,
network topologies, network configuration and management,
network model components, layered network models (OSI reference
model, TCP/IP networking architecture) and their protocols, various
types of networks (LAN, MAN, WAN and Wireless networks) and
their protocols. Internet Protocols, IPv4 Addressing and Subnetting,
Variable Length Subnet Masks (VLSMs), Wireless Local Area
Network (WLAN).
Course Intended Learning Upon successful completion of the course, students are

protocol architectures;
(4) describe functions of layers in OSI and TCP/IP protocol
stacks;
(5) explain key networking concepts such as multiplexing,
multiple access, switching, bridging, and addressing;
(6) classify automatic repeat request (ARQ) protocols
(stop-and-wait and sliding window);
(7) describe protocols for wired/wireless medium access
(CSMA/CD and CSMA/CA);
(8) explain issues related to virtual circuit switching and
