Data Communication
The goals of the course are to provide over-arching understanding and knowledge relating to computer communication, to provide knowledge relating to important concepts and frequently-encountered terminology as well as to provide an overview of existing protocols and frequently-encountered algorithms.
Upon completion of the course, the student shall be able to:
- use and discuss computer communication using frequently-encountered terminology within the field
- report on the construction and functions of frequently-encountered protocols together with putting this information into the appropriate perspective using ISO’s OSI model
- state the main characteristics of theories relating to capacity limitation which form the basis of computer communication
- present and explain commonly-encountered network architectures and their areas of usage
- independently be able to specify and implement simpler well defined functionality in commonly encountered protocols
