ITS 2300 - Data Networking
Students develop an understanding of the principles of network technologies that enable modern information and telecommunication systems. The course begins with an examination of the physical layer and various transmission media. Students also study the link and network layers and gain an understanding of the principles of data networking, virtual circuits, packet switching, and routing. Students examine the transport layer along with a description of typical networking applications, with an emphasis on the use of these technologies and concepts in the Internet. These topics are further explored in hands-on lab exercises
