About this Unit
This unit is concerned with the principles and topics of fundamental importance to data communication, computer communication networks and telecommunications. The lower layers of the OSI reference model are emphasized (hardware, physical layer, data link layer and network layer). Also, it will cover all major network technologies- SONET, ATM, Internet, and Telephony. Essential network engineering topics such as protocol layering, multiple access, switching, scheduling, routing, congestion control, error control, flow control, and network security shall also be included. An engineering approach will be taken to provide an insight into network design.
