| Synopsis |
This course provides a complete introduction to the TCP/IP suite of
protocols, as implemented on Unix and Windows systems. It goes from the
"nuts and bolts" of the protocol specifications, through concepts such as
subnetting and routing, up through configuration of network services.
Many TCP/IP-based client/server applications are examined.
|
| Target audience |
This course is appropriate for anyone who needs to understand the
basic principles of TCP/IP. It is particularly suitable for network
managers, programmers, and administrators.
|
| Prerequisites |
Students are expected to be comfortable using computers. No previous
network experience is required.
|
| Lab exercises |
Students will use real-life tools to monitor and configure TCP/IP network
services. Many of the labs will involve use of a packet sniffer and
protocol analyzer to examine live network traffic.
