Course Summary
The course is designed for the smooth and fast data transportation over the wired and wireless medium.
The course introduces the queuing model and Markovian theory to handle process state at the various
stages of the switches and routers. The course introduces the basic Wireless security to understand the
various network’s attack and prevention. Number of advance network protocol is included in this course
to understand the various network challenges for wired as well as the wireless medium.

Course Objectives
This course is designed to provide knowledge about the basic concepts of Advance Computer Network.
The course includes switching concept for packet forwarding, wireless security, and smooth and secure
data transmission over the wired and wireless medium. The course includes the queuing model and
Markovian theory for smooth data transportation. The main purpose of this course is to help the student
to understand the basic concept about the secure and smooth transportation of data, which is a real world
challenging problem.
