Network Protocols II

Catalog description

This course expands on the core network engineering and protocol concepts developed in Network Protocols I through an in-depth examination of the Internet Protocol (IP), RIP II and OSPF, ICMP, and VOIP. Students examine the details of software implementation of these protocols. Students understand the interplay of these protocols and the associated end node, enterprise, autonomous region and internet backbone structures in support of efficient and effective movement of information across the internet. Students use network design simulation software to explore the complex interactions of these protocols with each other and with the architectures they support.
