COMP-2400 Networking

Description

This course introduces students to the foundational concepts and practical skills required to understand and configure computer networks. Students will learn how to set up and manage local area networks (LANs), including naming and discovery services. The course explores key networking protocols across the link, network, transport, and application layers, providing a comprehensive understanding of how data travels across networks. Through hands-on exercises and theoretical instruction, students will gain the ability to analyze the process of resolving hostnames to network addresses and understand the mechanisms behind routing decisions. Topics include subnet-based routing, Network Address Translation (NAT), and other essential routing algorithms.
