Introduction to Course:
The entire world has become very small thanks to evolution in telecommunication and
networking. We use large number of applications for communication. E-mail, Whatsapp
and Facebook are few of those. As a student of Computer Engineering, one must know
internal details of how applications/devices communicate with each other. The objective
of this course is exactly the same. This course discusses issues and protocols involved in
packet transfer over a network or Internet.

Course Learning Outcomes:

At the end of the course, students will be able to -

1. Summarize the functionality of different layers of computer network
architectures.
2. Analyze protocols related to various layers.
3. Design computer network configurations
4. Explain the significance of various fields of protocol headers
