III B.Tech-II Semester LTPC

Course Code: A10519 31-3

Course Overview:

This course is to provide students with an overview of the concepts and fundamentals of data
communication and computer networks. Topics to be covered include: data communication concepts
and techniques in a layered network architecture, communications switching and routing, types of
communication, network congestion, network topologies, network configuration and management,
network model components, layered network models (OSI reference model, TCP/IP networking
architecture) and their protocols, various types of networks (LAN, MAN, WAN and Wireless networks)
and their protocols. The course is supplemented by a practical component covered in CS335
concurrently..

Course Objectives:

1. Build an understanding of the fundamental concepts of computer networking.


2. The Data Link Layer: Design issues, error detection and correction.
3. Allow the student to gain expertise in Network layer design issues, routing algorithms.
4. Can learn Transport service, elements of transport protocols.
5. To learn applications of layer protocols
Course Outcomes:

After going through this course the student will be able to

1. Defining, using and implementing Computer Networks and the basic components of a Network
system.
2. Knowing and Applying pieces of hardware and software to make networks more efficient, faster,
more secure, easier to use, able to transmit several simultaneous messages, and able to interconnect
with other networks.
3. Differentiating the various types of network configurations and applying them to meet the changing
and challenging networking needs of organizations.
4. Defining and analysing the circuits available for voice and data networks, their transmission speeds
(bandwidth), and how they are packaged for commercial use.
5. Domain name systems and working of electronic mails
