Rationale Behind the Network Programming lab

This course presents a systematic introduction to the principles and practices

of configuring and maintaining computer systems and networks. Today,
computer technology is having a major impact as a result of linking them
into networks, and perhaps more dramatically as the biggest network of all,
referred as the INTERNET has changed the face of business, industry,
government, education and almost every
aspect of human activity. But, how does all this actually work? What are the
protocols? How can we develop programs/systems that actually execute in
separate computers? What does the client/server model mean? The course
offers a top-down approach to investigating the layers and components of
network technology and provides an understanding of networked systems.
This course advances the introduction to networks provided in 1007ICT and
integrates this with some practical programming examples.

LEARNING OUTCOMES
The students should achieve a deep understanding of the protocol stack in
widely available computer networks. It should enable the students to
consider programming client/server systems over transport layer protocols.
The students should understand the functionality of network layers in detail,
with the potential to eventually develop or implement simple versions of
tasks like packetization, control flow, error correction, network flow control
and security. Students should have a detail understanding of headers for
some protocols in some of the network layers, and also a solid understanding
of the functionality of each component. Students should understand what is
involved in networking a computer on a wired as well as wireless access
point. This course will offer content-based outcomes in terms of
understanding the
concepts of the network layer stack. However, it will include cognitive
outcomes (e.g.: understanding, analysis, evaluation), as students will be
required to contrast concept like switching networks vs. packaging networks.
Students will solve some implementation problems in their assessment items
and as such application outcomes (i.e.: skills-based outcomes eg: problem
solving) will be achieved.
Therefore, specific outcomes are as follows:

1. - Achieve an understanding of the functionality of each layer of the

network stack.
2. - Achieve an understanding of the algorithms that achieve the
functionality of the network stack.
3. - Recognize the packet system and protocol of layers of a network stack
4. - Recognize the features of client/server systems and programs, with a
view to be able to implement
simple systems in this model.
5, - Analyse, develop and implement the client and server of a simple
program over a transport layer.
6. - Evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of the alternative
technologies for networking as they
have evolved in the recent years.
