Text: Andrew S. Tanenbaum, Computer Networks, 4rd Edition, 2008
This course takes a structured approach to explaining how networks work from the inside out. It starts with an explanation of the physical layer of networking, computer hardware and transmission systems; then works his way up to network applications. The course's in-depth application coverage includes email; the domain name system; the World Wide Web (both client- and server-side); and multimedia (including voice over IP, Internet radio video on demand, video conferencing, and streaming media).
