Course Description: 3 hours lecture. ISO model, review of the physical and data link layers, network layer and routing including for internet, multicast routing, TCP and UDP protocols and their characteristics, performance and limitations, TCP/IP stack, applications such a FTP, e-mail and DNS, multimedia over IP, and network security. The course may require significant lab and/or project activity. To allow some practical experience there will be 4-5 hands-on sessions in the lab during the semester.

Prerequisite: CES 440/ES 465, Intro. to Networking and Network Management

Textbook: “Computer Networks”, 5^th ed. By Andrew Tanenbaum and David Wetherall, Prentice Hall 2011.

Course Objective:

To describe a reliable transport for the applications that require reliability and low error and packet loss in computer networks and the Internet.
To describe an efficient transport for the applications that require low delay and delay variation in computer networks and the Internet.
To explain the common applications in computer networks and the Internet.
To explain the addressing among applications in computer networks and the Internet.
To explain the requirements and operation of low-delay applications (multimedia) the Internet.
To understand communication among applications can be performed securely over a public network like Internet.

Attendance: Attendance is mandatory. There will be no excused absences except in the case of emergencies that could be substantiated. The unexcused absences will affect your grade, see http://www.sonoma.edu/uaffairs/policies/studentinfo.shtml.

Homework: Homework (see the table below) will be assigned bi-weekly. Each homework assignment is due at the beginning of the following session. A lab report is also expected two weeks after the lab session. Your homework and lab reports must be typed using MS Word. Hand-written assignments will not be accepted or graded.

Quizzes: There will be two quizzes and a final. For the date and coverage of each quiz refer to the table below.

Grading: 20% homework, 20% lab, 30% quizzes, 30% final Exam

Academic Honesty: You are responsible to behave ethically & honestly. Copying, cheating, forgery, and other unethical or dishonest actions are not tolerated. See http://www.sonoma.edu/uaffairs/policies/cheating_plagiarism.htm

Learning Outcome:

An in-depth understanding of various transports to provide communication among application with desirable level of quality of service including packet loss and reliability, delay and delay variation, and security.
A broad level of understanding of the application requirements and how they are communicated over a public network such as the Internet.
A broad understanding of the security functions/services and the mechanisms to deliver the related services over an unsecure environment.
