Objectives: Today’s global
information infrastructure consists of various systems and devices
interconnected via the Internet. Where information resides has become
less important compared to ubiquitous and quick availability of
information. The quality of service experienced by a user or an
application depends on the underlying network hardware (e.g., links,
routers), protocols (e.g., TCP/IP) and
characteristics (e.g., network traffic, access times and
interference). Internet is a dynamically evolving systems
held together by a set of protocols, in contrast to many other systems
(e.g., microprocessors, workstations) that are designed by a close-knit
group of designers. EE 456 introduces computer and
communication networking principles and technologies that make such a
complex global information infrastructure possible.
Outcomes: Students will
know how the Internet works and how it is able to evolve and grow in
size, speed and complexity. They will be able to develop network
protocols and distributed Internet based applications using basic
network programming concepts.
This is a new course offered for the first time in Spring 2008.
