Objectives:: LTPC 3 0 0 3

This document outlines the syllabus for a computer networks course. The course is divided into 5 units that cover fundamentals of networking, link layer, media access and internetworking, routing, transport layer, and application layer. The objectives are for students to understand network layering, components required to build different network types, and functionality at each layer. Students should also be able to identify solutions for each layer's functionality and trace information flow between nodes. The course aims to provide familiarity with networking concepts and protocols.
