Aim of the course: This course introduces fundamental concepts in the design of computer communication
networks, their protocols, and applications.

Course Overview and Context: This course studies the standard models for the layered approach to
communication between autonomous machines in a network, and the main characteristics of data
transmission across various physical link types.

Topics of the Course


● layered network architectures
● applications
● network programming interfaces
● network protocols
● local and wide area networks
● network routing
● wireless and mobile networks
● software-defined networking

Course Outcomes: At the end of the course the students should be able to
CO1: Understand fundamental underlying principles of computer networking

CO2: Understand details and functionality of layered network architecture.

CO3: Explain the way protocols in the Internet work and the requirements for designing network
protocols.

Student’s Responsibilities:
● Attend lectures/discussion sessions and labs to obtain all the course materials.
● Check announcements on Maitri/Google-classroom and emails regularly.
● Regularly, check your marks on the Maitri and make sure they are up to date.

Attendance Policy: Students are expected to attend the classes regularly. Failure to attend the classes
regularly and adhere to the expected attendance percentage will result in a reduction of the grade as per
the University’s grading policy.

Assignments: Evaluation will be based on both continuous assessments and the exams. The necessary
training required on different software and equipment should be done beyond classroom sessions.

Late assignment submission policy: Late submission of the assignment is not allowed, and any late
submission will be awarded “0” marks in that assignment.

Recourse examination policy: As per the academic regulations of the University.

Make-up policy: No make-up work will be given for unexcused absences. The faculty needs to be informed
in advance in case the student is not going to be able to submit an assignment or take any evaluation
component, and it is at the discretion of the faculty to sanction make up for an evaluation component.

Behavioural Expectations: No mobile phones and other gadgets causing distraction are permitted in the
class.

Academic dishonesty/cheating/plagiarism: Plagiarism and dishonesty in any form in any evaluation


component will lead to appropriate disciplinary action.
