CS425: Computer Networks Overview

This document summarizes a lecture on computer networks from a course at IIT Kanpur in 2006. It discusses the required and desirable functionalities of networks like modulation, error detection, routing, and reliability. It then introduces the concepts of layering networks, with inter-layer communication through upcalls and downcalls. Each layer encapsulates and decapsulates data as it is passed between layers. Communication can be end-to-end between applications or hop-by-hop between layers at each network node.
