Course Summary
This is a senior course in data communications. We will cover a broad spectrum of topics in data and
computer communications. Topics covered include data transmission, signal encoding techniques, error
detection, multiplexing, message packet and circuit switching, data link layer protocols (PPP, HDLC) and
their performance, TCP/IP, flow control and error control (buffer allocation schemes, window schemes),
TCP congestion control mechanism. A network design project using network simulation software will be
assigned.
