Course Description
ECS152B will cover the principles of networking with an emphasis on
protocols, implementations, and design issues. The course focuses on
higher layer protocols up to the application layer; it complements and
builds upon the material in the course ECS152A. It also provides the
required basics that are needed to develop networking software along
with case studies of several networking applications. Students will
gain hands-on experience through a substantial number of assignments
and projects in the Computer Science Department's Instructional
Facility.
Prerequisites
Course 152A and (150 or 151A).
Note that undergraduate students who do not meet the prerequisites are subject to be dropped. Graduate students are welcome to enroll in the class.
Experience with some flavor of Unix and programming in C or C++ is required.
