Introduction

Compare and contrast protocols for wireless networking.

Syllabus

Module 1: Network Hardware

Welcome to Computer Networking! In this course, we will cover the topics of: Network Hardware, Protocols, and Wireless Technology. This module explores communication networks. It examines basic network hardware and communication protocols. The module provides methods for creating networks and discusses network topologies, specifically local area networks (LAN) and wide area networks (WAN).

Module 2: Protocols

This module compares how data is sent over the internet using Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and User Datagram Protocol (UDP). It explores how each uses an Internet Protocol (IP) address for transferring data but through different processes. The module identifies services available through network hosts.

Module 3: Wireless Technology

This module investigates basics of wireless technology. It explores wireless security and the standard for information technology, specifically IEEE 802.11.

Summative Course Assessment

This module contains the summative course assessment that has been designed to evaluate your understanding of the course material and assess your ability to apply the knowledge you have acquired throughout the course. Be sure to review the course material thoroughly before taking the assessment.

Reviews

Well spoken, professional, clear objectives and timely quizzes and tests. Also appreciated the Guides and syllabus. College level. Recommended.

i couldn't verify my id, can you help with this please

Computer networking is the interconnection of computing devices to enable data communication and resource sharing between them.

great course but some things on the tests arn't on the wiki pages they want you to study but it gets the job done just might require some other research.

Great course! Nice overview of computer networking.
