DATA NETWORKSCourse Creator: Malathi VeeraraghavanThis course describes the basic techniques used in communication networks. Three types of net-working techniques, circuit-switching, connectionless packet-switching and connection-orientedpacket-switching, will be covered. Concepts and reasons for using layered protocol architectureswill be explained. We will cover techniques for various networking functions such as error con-trol, flow control, switching, multiplexing, congestion control, and traffic control. Finally, theconcept of internetworking of networks will be introduced. Throughout the course, several exam-ples of existing networks and protocols will be used.Prerequisite: Junior Status in EE or CSTopical outline:Week ____________________________Topic______________________________1.
