Course Objectives:
• To provide insight about networks, topologies, and the key concepts.
• To gain comprehensive knowledge about the layered communication architectures (OSI and TCP/IP)
and its functionalities.
• To understand the principles, key protocols, design issues, and significance of each layers in ISO and
TCP/IP.
• To know the basic concepts of network services and various network applications.

Course Outcomes:
By the end of the course, the student will be able to
 Demonstrate different network models for networking links OSI, TCP/IP, B-ISDN, N-BISDN and get
knowledge about various communication techniques, methods and protocol standards.
 Discuss different transmission media and different switching networks.
 Analyze data link layer services, functions and protocols like HDLC and PPP.
 Compare and Classify medium access control protocols like ALOHA, CSMA, CSMA/CD,
CSMA/CA, Polling, Token passing, FDMA, TDMA, CDMA protocols
 Determine application layer services and client server protocols working with the client server
paradigms like WWW, HTTP, FTP, e-mail and SNMP etc.
