CS6551 COMPUTER NETWORKS SYLLABUS

REGULATION 2013

COMMON FOR 4TH SEM CSE AND 5TH SEM IT

Subject Credit : 3

OBJECTIVES:

The student should be made to:

• Understand the division of network functionalities into layers.
• Be familiar with the components required to build different types of networks
• Be exposed to the required functionality at each layer
• Learn the flow control and congestion control algorithms

UNIT I FUNDAMENTALS & LINK LAYER

Building a network – Requirements - Layering and protocols - Internet Architecture – Network software – Performance ; Link layer Services - Framing - Error Detection - Flow control

UNIT II MEDIA ACCESS & INTERNETWORKING

Media access control - Ethernet (802.3) - Wireless LANs – 802.11 – Bluetooth - Switching and bridging – Basic Internetworking (IP, CIDR, ARP, DHCP,ICMP )

UNIT III ROUTING

Routing (RIP, OSPF, metrics) – Switch basics – Global Internet (Areas, BGP, IPv6), Multicast – addresses – multicast routing (DVMRP, PIM)

UNIT IV TRANSPORT LAYER

Overview of Transport layer - UDP - Reliable byte stream (TCP) - Connection management - Flow control - Retransmission – TCP Congestion control - Congestion avoidance (DECbit, RED) – QoS – Application requirements

UNIT V APPLICATION LAYER

Traditional applications -Electronic Mail (SMTP, POP3, IMAP, MIME) – HTTP – Web Services – DNS - SNMP

TOTAL: 45 PERIODS

OUTCOMES:

At the end of the course, the student should be able to:

• Identify the components required to build different types of networks
• Choose the required functionality at each layer for given application Identify solution for each functionality at each layer
• Trace the flow of information from one node to another node in the network
