Instructional Method and Pedagogy:

• At the start of course, significance of the course, content delivery pattern, and other required details
regarding subject will be discussed.
• Lectures will be conducted with the aid of multi-media projector, black board, OHP etc.
• Attendance is compulsory in lecture and laboratory which will be reflected in Continuous Internal
Assessment (CIA) component in the examination scheme of the course.
• Assignments based on the course content will be given to the students and will be evaluated at regular
interval evaluation.
• The course includes a laboratory, where students have an opportunity to build an appreciation for the
concepts being taught in lectures. Experiments shall be performed in the laboratory related to course
contents.

Learning Outcome:
On successful completion of this course, the student should be able to:

 Understand the gravity and concepts of computer networks.

 Conceptualize and appreciate the layered model for computer networking.
 Identify basic protocols and design issues for layered model.
 Explain various topological and routing strategies for IP based networks.
