Retrospection Revising the layered architecture and overall operation of a network; a day in the life of a web page request; network troubleshooting analysis. Network Design and Configuration: Principles and Practice Ethernet/IEEE 802.3, multiple-access protocols (CSMA/CD), switched LANs: link-layer addressing and ARP, link-layer (L2) switches: basic and advanced functionality, VLANs, IP, forwarding and routing, subnetting and supernetting, VLANs vs subnets, network-layer (L3) switches, routers, routing principles, and network diagnostics: fundamentals and tools.Network Design and Configuration: Campus Networks Complex designs with switched LANs, link-layer (L2) switches, VLANs, network-layer (L3) switches, and routers. Network Programming Project Layered network application development: blocking and non-blocking calls, IO multiplexing, signal handling, asynchronous IO, IP header options (e.g., timestamping). Retrospection Reliability, flow-control, addressing, multiplexing/demultiplexing across layers: a comparative analysis; networking troubleshooting roundup.
