CS390 Data Networking

A MAP OF THE INTERNET

CS 390 Data Networking
This course presents the principles of computer networks from network enabled applications to basic electrical signals.

The course is a top-down exploration of network layer protocols: application, transport, network, data link, and physical. At the application layer, students learn about the web including html and http; rpc; xml; soap; and web services. At the transport layer, students learn about sockets, udp, tcp, reliable data transfer and congestion control. At the network layer, students learn about IP, routing algorithms, and the internet. At the data link and physical layers, students learn about encoding, framing, and error detection/correction.

Course Logistics:
Lectures are held We,Fr 10:00-11:15 in Stanger 308.

You can track me down other times by looking at my schedule.

The Lab - Stanger 308:

Technically, you don't need to use the lab because you can install all of the programming languages used in the course on your personal computer.. However, working up in the lab on these programming assignments is a great way to meet other people in the course and ask me questions if I'm around. The lab is open from 8AM to 12AM during the week. During some of that time the lab is used as a classroom. You can find the schedule for the lab here. Also, the lab is occasionally reserved for a special meeting (this is rare). During the weekends and holidays the lab is normally closed but you can still gain access.

If Stanger 308 is occupied, you should also check out Stanger 101: The Computer Science Library. The machines in Stanger 101 have the same software and configuration as the machines in Stanger 308.

If you arrive at Stanger and the lab is closed, you can call campus police at x5555 and tell them that you are taking this course and that you are on a list of students allowed access to the lab.
