The Transmission
Control and Internet
Protocols have,
from the beginning,
been the core
elements of the
burgeoning Internet
with its many
components. We
emphasize the
"Internet
Architecture"
term here to encourage
thinking beyond
the more limiting
"TCP/IP"
origins of this
subject. This
broader view recognizes
the many elements
that comprise
this dynamic,
developing field.
This portfolio
of courses deals
mainly with the
upper five layers
of the Open Systems
Interconnection
model of networking.
The two lowest
layers of this
OSI model are
typically implemented
in hardware --
the primary scope
of our series
on Network
Infrastructure
Technology.
An intensive entry-level
course emphasizing
the basic concepts
of TCP/IP-based
networking. The
program requires
no prior knowledge
of the subject,
although students
should have a
background that
includes familiarity
with basic computing
and networking
principles.
This course continues
where the above
course ends, developing
a more detailed
understanding
of the subject.
It includes a
review of the
concepts covered
in the first course,
exploring the
subject much more
comprehensively.
This course is
designed to fill
a new requirement
to provide networking
professionals
with essential
knowledge of the
new and emerging
IP standards defining
the shape and
character of the
future Internet.
This workshop-style
course includes
all of the material
covered in the
preceding course
packages, offering
an intensive single
session program
that embraces
the full scope
of the subject,
along with effective
workshop and problem
solving segments.
