3. 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 to 3 networking programming projects  Several lab assignments (fun, real)  Email (spam), Web. Ethernet, hub, wireless LAN  One chapter on Internet security introduction  Will have some overlaps with CNT3004 Goals:  Learn a lot (facts, principles and practice)  Have fun (Use/apply/understand real world network immediately)

4. 4 Course information  Prerequisites:  Basic knowledge on Algorithms and Operating Systems  C or C++ programming skills  Basic usage of Linux  Eustics account + my lab Linux (or your own computer) for networking programming  Course materials:  Text: Computer Networking: A Top Down Approach Featuring the Internet, J. Kurose & K. Ross, Addison Wesley, 5th ed., 2009  Previous editions would also be fine  Textbook online resource (see first page)  Class notes
