| Description | The objective of this course is an intensive study of interconnected networks and the corresponding protocols that make interconnected architectures function as a single unified
communication system. We will cover a wide variety of topics including a brief overview of OSI and TCP/IP architectures, Internet History and Evolution, Underlying Network Technologies (Ethernet, FDDI, Frame Realy, ATM, etc.), IP addresses, ARP and RARP protocols, IP protocol, ICMP, Subnetting, Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR), Virtual Private Networks (VPNs), IP version 6, TCP, UDP, Client Server Model of Interaction, BOOTP, DHCP, Domain Name System, Application Protocols. I strongly believe that with all these topics you will gain a very good insight into the Internet Architecture, the transport protocols that support its operation, and the various application protocols that can use this infrastructure to provide useful services to end users. |

Do not e-mail the project. Use regular mail. It must have a post mark of December 5 (or earlier) Note that if the NJIT exam sites are far away from you, then you can find a close by college to you, that has a test center, and take the exam there. You may have to pay around $20 to use their service; ask for the price before you use this option. If you decide to use a test center, e-mail me their e-mail address, phone and fax numbers. Total Number of Exam Points TNEP = 2 quizes + midterm + final + project (thus maximum TNEP =100 points) The final grade of a student will be determined by his/her TNEP versus the class average TNEP; area around class average will be a grade B. Important Dates Thanksgiving: Thursday - Sunday, November 24-27 Reading Day: December 13-14 Academic Honor Code The NJIT academic honor code (http://www.njit.edu/academics/honorcode.php)applies in full to this class. Note in particular that copying programs, in full or in part, is forbidden. You may discuss ideas and concepts with your fellow students, but you may NOT copy any code. |
