ITC560 Internet Technologies PG (8)

Abstract

This subject provides an in-depth study of various internet technologies, from web applications to the underlying communication technologies. The main emphasis is to combine technical concepts with a high-level understanding of networks and the different protocol layers and communication media used in the internet. The subject covers emerging internet technologies and explores topics in detail such as network and data communication models.  It further explores the concept of Internet of Everything (IoE) by introducing the pillars of IoE and the idea of connecting the unconnected. It discusses the design of web sites using programming languages such as Extensible HyperText Markup Language (XHTML) and Cascading Style Sheets (CSS). The subject provides in-depth information on how communication amongst different web applications occurs by discussing and analysing different networking concepts along with the internet infrastructure. It discusses the next generation Internet Protocol (IP) system for the Internet and explains IPv6. In the application layer, it discusses the standard client-server protocols and Peer-to-Peer Paradigm.
