The aim of this subject is to for students to learn the basic concepts concerning communications between network terminals. Students must study all TCP/IP protocols, local area networks (LAN) architecture, and wide area networks (WAN) architecture. This subject focuses on protocols and algorithms related to network architecture and TCP/IP protocols; and the technological aspects of networks (planning and designing a local area network).

4 hours/week of theory in which the teacher will explain course concepts on the blackboard and provide examples/problems covering size and design considerations.
2 hours/week in the lab. Lab classes are used to tackle problems using either chalk and blackboard or the lab equipment (PCs, routers, switches, etc.). Each
2-hour class is self-contained, although it draws upon the knowledge learnt and skills acquired in previous sessions.
An exam is set in the last week of the course to assess students" ability to solve a problem using the lab equipment.
C=test (held around week 8 or 9)
Nl=Lab grade
Ef=Final Exam
