This course covers layer 3 and 4 in TCP/IP standard
architecture. Different routing principles such as Dijkstra’s and Bellman-Ford
algorithms are studied in this course. Moreover, IP router standard router structure
is studied in this course. Students taking this course will be aware of all
details about most of the routing protocols in use today in the Internet and
are able to compare them.
Topics covered in this course include: introduction
to layering and protocols; OSI standard architecture; TCP/IP standard
structure; IP protocol; TCP protocol; routing in IP networks; interior gateway protocols (distance
vector protocols: RIP, IGRP, EIGRP)(link state protocols: OSPF); exterior
gateway protocols (EGP, BGP); standard IP router structure; routing in MPLS
networks. LAN
Intended learning outcomes
Knowledge &understand
The student should learn about the protocols for the networks
Differentiation between local and external protocols and their respective methods of use
Special applications for all protocols
Know how to maintain and detect errors that occur to those protocols
mental skills
Distinguish between protocols and how they work and benefit from them
The student should know how to apply those protocols.
Determining the importance of the type applied and according to the network in order to obtain better results
Practical & professional skills
Enabling students to understand protocols and how they operate
Use of specific applications of each protocol by network and depending on the network used
