2 About my self  Office: HEC 243  Tel:  Office hour:Monday/Wednesday 10:15pm – 11:45pm  Course webpage: r UCF Panopto for online lecture video streaming  Webcourse has a link and Syllabus  Each lecture will be posted several hours after a class r Use for homework assignment and grading m Keeping grade private m Easy homework submission m Having a simple BBS channel

3 What is this course about?  Basic “analysis” (don’t be scared by the course’s official name)  Introductory course in “computer networking”  Focus on Internet architecture/protocols  TCP/IP, 2 networking programming projects  Several lab assignments (fun, real)  (spam), Web. Ethernet, hub, wireless LAN  One chapter on Internet security introduction  Newly added content (not in textbook):  Cellular and mobile technologies  Wireless security

4 Course information  Prerequisites:  Basic knowledge on Algorithms and Operating Systems  C or C++ programming skills  Basic usage of Linux  Eustics account for networking programming  Course materials:  Text: Computer Networking: A Top Down Approach Featuring the Internet, J. Kurose & K. Ross, Addison Wesley, 6th ed., 2013  Previous editions (4th,5th) would also be fine  Textbook online resource (see first page)  Class notes

5 Course information (more) The final grade will use +/- policy, i.e., you may get A, A-, B+, B, B- … grade. Because this class has online session, the two exams are open book and similar to all regular homework assignments, except that they have a 24-hour submission constraint.  Workload: CourseworkApproximate amountapproximate percentage Written homework224% Programming projects 226% Lab assignments321% Midterm exam114% Final exam115%

6 Course information (even more)  In-class style: interaction, questions  Real network programming (fun)  Hands on experience: packet trace, spam, Wifi attack…  Flexible:  Teaching difficulty/speed/contents based on your feedback please  So please tell me freely your thinking and interests!  Academic honesty

7 A top-down approach: We’ll cover networking top-down  End-system applications, end-end transport  Network core: routing, hooking nets together  Link-level protocols, e.g., Ethernet  Other interesting stuff:  Security  wireless regional ISP local ISP company network
