20CD602 - Computer Networks Design

This document outlines the objectives and units of study for the course "Computer Networks Design". The course aims to teach fundamental networking principles, physical and logical network design, innovative technologies like SDN and DTN, and network programming in UNIX C. It is divided into 5 units covering topics such as networking protocols, physical network cabling, IP addressing, routing protocols, software defined networks, and network sockets programming. The intended learning outcomes are for students to apply networking principles to design networks, use SDN in applications, configure networking devices, and develop network applications.
