Catalog
Description:
Investigation of the effects of packet size and transmission errors
on performance of computer networks. Comparison of the performance of hubs,
routers and bridges. Analysis and design of network testing methods. Formerly
ECE 355.
Course Objectives:
- introduce physical components of networks: hubs, routers,
bridges
- introduce the concepts of routing protocols
- teach limitations of these protocols and devices, factors
affecting network performance
- present current issues in quality of service, security
- explain techniques for controlling network access and
optimizing routing performance
Course Outcomes:
- analyze networking needs for an organization, and configure a
network that meets these needs
- manage network access and traffic
- analyze and correct network configuration problems
- analyze network performance under various loads created using
traffic simulation
- select and configure appropriate routing protocols to meet
application needs, and understand the limitations of each of the
common protocols
Class Schedule:
- One hundred fifty minutes a week lecture
