| - | The purpose of the course is to provide an introduction to fundamental network architecture concepts and their application in existing and emerging networks. For this purpose, we use a bottom-up approach. In this approach you will learn first about data communications (lower layers) before learning about networking (upper layers). For example, you can learn about signals, encoding, modulation, and error detection before learning about data transfer across the Internet. | + | The purpose of the course is to provide an introduction to fundamental network architecture concepts and their application in existing and emerging networks.

For example, you can learn about signals, encoding, modulation, and error detection before learning about data transfer across the Internet. Our view is that you will be best prepared for a future of constant change through exposure to network design alternatives. |
