Laboratory work:
Laboratory work will be based on cisco packet tracer which includes experiments on
LAN, WAN, MAN, various topologies, implementation of different protocols like HTTP,
DHCP, DNS, E-mail and routing algorithms.
Instructional Method:
a) The course delivery method will depend upon the requirement of content and
need of students. The teacher in addition to conventional teaching method by
black board, may also use any of tools such as demonstration, role play, Quiz,
brainstorming, MOOCs etc.
