COURSE DESCRIPTION

This course provides an in-depth discussion of computer networks. It includes a

detailed discussion of the different Network Models. Concepts that have a direct

effect on the efficiency of a network (e.g. collision and broadcast domains, topology)

are also discussed. Concepts on different network technologies, distributed

computation, networking, and communication software, and security issues are also

discussed.

COURSE OBJECTIVES (DESIRABLE OBJECTIVES):

Towards the end of the course, students are expected to / able to:

_ Be familiar with the different Network Models.

_ Understand different network technologies

_ Understand the effects of using different networking topologies

_ Be updated with different advanced network technologies that can be used to

connect different networks
