ITC542 Internetworking with TCP/IP (8)
CSU Discipline Area: Computing (COMPU)
Duration: One session
Abstract:
This subject is about the TCP/IP protocol suite and how it is used on the internet. It begins with a short history of the internet, the organisations that develop internet standards and a review of the underlying communications technologies needed for the internet. Then IP addressing, IP routing, and a detailed examination of the internet layers and protocols are done. Finally internet applications, security, IPv6 and the future of TCP/IP are studied.
