Class Overview

The Internet is profoundly changing the way we conduct business, communicate socially, or find information for entertainment. In this course, we learn the fundamental concepts and principles that shape modern computer networks, understand how the Internet is designed and is being operated in practice, and think about the current issues. Class content is introduced top-down, starting with the applications that are most familiar to students, such as the Web and e-mail, before delving into lower-level details. Students gain a hands-on perspective by writing their own simplified versions of popular Internet protocols.

Prerequisite
