Course Description of Computer Networking
Data communications and computer networks are becoming increasingly more important and, todays business world could not function without either. Business managers, computer programmers, system designers, and home computer users alike need a thorough understanding of the basic features, operations, and limitations of different types of computer networks. Course in Network Technology introduces concepts that help the student achieve an in-depth understanding of the often complex topic of data communications and computer networks by balancing the more technical aspects and the everyday practical aspects. Some of these topics include: Latest wireless technologies, Switching in LANs, VoIP, Advanced encryption standards and digital signatures, Compression techniques, Next generation internet (IPv6), Wi-Max wireless Internet service. Some issues relating to Network security, Network Design and Network management is also discussed in this course. It is also important to remember the many older technologies still prevalent use today. Discussions of these older technologies can be provided in this course when appropriate.
