About the Course

This is the undergraduate computer networks course. The broad objective of the course is to understand - (i) the architecture and principles of today's computer networks, (ii) the protocols and their functionalities, (iii) the requirements for the future Internet and its impact on the computer network architecture.

In this course, we'll broadly cover the basic TCP/IP protocol stack and touch on the next generation computer networks. We'll take a top-down approach to cover different protocols at the TCP/IP protocol stack.
