TBD 403 -Data Communications and Networks

1. Course Summary

Data communication is data exchange between two devices through a computer network. A
computer network interconnects two or more computing devices. Since implementing
computer networking software is a highly complex task, it has been implemented in different
layers. Every layer has a well-defined service to perform. The required protocols are also
developed. In this course, we study the fundamental concepts of computer networks,
different network models, and topologies. We also understand the layers of the OSI model
and TCP/IP, their functions, and the protocols used at these layers. We also study routing
algorithms and multimedia networks.
