Course overview:
This is the graduate level course on computer networking.
This course involves both lecture and projects. The course is divided into two
parts: 1). the Internet and its protocols. 2) ongoing research on computer
networks. In the first part, the instructor will review the design and
implementation of the Internet and its protocols. In the second part, we will
read papers on various topics of computer networking, such as router design,
peer-to-peer system, network security, wireless network, and network
multimedia. Students are expected to read papers before the class, participate in
discussions, and select a topic and present during the class.
