CS 73: Networks and Networking

This course provides a basic understanding of computer networks and networking. Topics that we'll cover include:

data communication concepts
communications switching and routing
network topologies
network protocols
network configuration and management
client-server applications

TCP/IP is the most widely used network protocol suite available today (it's the basis for the Internet) and it will likely remain influential for the forseeable future. As such we will use it as the basis for most of our study.
