Lecture Plan (CSC305 - CN Theory)

This 3 credit course on Computer Networks covers the basic concepts and state-of-the-art in computer network protocols, architectures, and applications to provide students with both a research and industry perspective. The syllabus is divided into 6 units that will address topics across each layer of the OSI model from the physical layer to the application layer, including data link protocols, network routing, transport layer protocols, and popular application layer standards. The course aims to help students identify, analyze, understand, and apply networking concepts in both research and industry contexts.
