6. MAJOR COURSE BEHAVIORAL OBJECTIVES: (Each of the following items must be completed satisfactorily by the student).
- Understanding the way networks work. Basic probability applied to networks.
- Understanding the Internet protocol (IP) and the transmission control protocol (TCP).
- The analyses of LAN: Ethernet and CSMA/CD.
- The analyses of data link layer: framing, retransmission protocols, error control codes.
- The analyses of physical layer: communication links and their characteristics.
- In the laboratory portion, we will be using OPNET modular to develop a computer network system. The OPNET modular is the network simulation software used for designing a network module, simulating discrete event systems and network performance analysis.
