ECE 358 Computer NetworksElectrical and Computer Engineering (2009-2010)
This course examines the protocols used in computer networks, with a focus on medium access control, network- and transport-layers. MAC protocols discussed include aloha, CSMA/CD and CSMA/CA. Routing protocols discussed include distance vectors, link state, source routing, flooding and multicast, routing to mobile devices and ad hoc networks, connection-oriented and connectionless routing, and the end-to-end argument in system design. Transport layer function will be examined, including reliable transmission, with focus on TCP. [Offered: F, W, first offered Fall 2012]
