CATALOG DESCRIPTION This course deals with the principles and issues underlying the provision of wide area connectivity through the interconnection of autonomous networks. Detailed discussion of the problems and solution techniques that arise in internetworking. Emphasis will be placed on the Internet architecture and protocols. (3-0-3) Prerequisites: ( CSCI 4210 ) COURSE OUTLINE Computer Networks and the Internet The Application Layer The Transport Layer The Network Layer and Routing The Link Layer and Local Area Networks Multimedia Networking. GOALS The goal of the course is to reinforce some of the networking concepts that were taught in any introductory networking course. LEARNING OUTCOMES Upon completion of the course students will be able to Apply mathematical foundations to solve computational problems in computer networking Identify the problems that take place in the currently existing communication protocols. Explain the advantages and disadvantages of existing solutions to these problems. Describe the implications of a given solution for network performance. Develop computer programs related to networking. ASSIGNMENTS All assignments will be posted under Assignments on GeorgiaVIEW with due dates for each assignment. You should submit your assignment in the MS Word format. If your assignment consists of multiple files, then create a folder with all the files and zip the folder. Then submit the ZIP file via GeorgiaVIEW. Late assignments penalty is 10 points per day. Assignments will not be accepted after three days from due date. The assignment cover page must clearly mention your name, course number and name, assignment number, due date and date submitted (if other than the due date). TESTS Tests are GeorgiaVIEW and will be available in within the appropriate time frame. No request for tests to be given earlier or later will be granted (see an exception in the MakeUp Work section). To start a test you will require a password. The password will be given you in the class or in the testing center on the date and time of the test. An online student, who is resided more than 30 miles from Americus, can take tests in the nearest testing center. A list of the testing centers is available from the graduate advisor, Dr. Arvind Shah acs1@gsw.edu.

DISCUSSIONS Discussions will be set up in GeorgiaVIEW. They will allow students to demonstrate their knowledge, ask and answer questions related to the class material. Discussions are a part of the class evaluation. PROJECT By the end of the project, students will have developed, in Java, a multithreaded Web server that is capable of serving multiple requests in parallel. Students need to implement version 1.0 of HTTP, as defined in RFC 1945. Recall that HTTP/1.0 creates a separate TCP connection for each request/response pair. A separate thread handles each of these connections. There will also be a main thread, in which the server listens for clients that want to establish connections. To simplify the programming task, students will develop the code in two stages. In the first stage, students will write a multithreaded server that simply displays the contents of the HTTP request message that it receives. After this program is running properly, students will add the code required to generate an appropriate response. EVALUATION Assignments (30 %), Tests (40%), Discussions (15 %), Project (15 %) GRADING POLICY Score Grade 90 - 100 A 80 - 89 B 70 - 79 C 60 - 69 D Less than 60 F ASSIGNMENTS DUE Assignment1 Due: 09/16/13 Assignment2 Due: 10/30/13 Assignment3 Due: 12/04/13 Project Due: 11/13/13 Test 1 Due: 10/02/13 Test 2 Due: 12/02/13 STUDENTS WITH DOCUMENTED DISABILITIES A student requesting classroom accommodations or modifications due to a documented disability must notify me within the first two weeks of the semester. If the student has not already done so, he or she must contact the Office of Disability Services located in room 101 of Sanford Hall. The phone number is 229-931-2661.

COMMUNICATION WITH STUDENTS The students GSW email account is the official method of communication between them and the university. So it is crucial that you check your email frequently. ATTENDANCE POLICY Students are expected to login to GAVIEW at least three times per week and participate in discussions, check email and calendar, download assignments, and take tests. Activity will be monitored weekly. MAKE-UP WORK A student, who misses a deadline of any assignment, discussion, or project, will receive lower score (see Late Submission Penalty Table), except for documented emergencies. Excused absentees will be allowed to make-up the test by arrangement with the instructor. All excused absences MUST be documented (e.g. by a doctor). ACADEMIC INTEGRITY POLICY Students at Georgia Southwestern State University are expected to conform to high standards of intellectual and academic integrity. Dishonest work will be treated as a serious offense by the GSW faculty and administration. The Policy on Academic Integrity can be found in the GSW Bulletin. Note: The instructor may choose to use plagiarism prevention technology. CURRENT STUDENT PROBLEM RESOLUTION GSW desires to resolve student grievances, complaints and concerns in an expeditious, fair and amicable manner. Complaints regarding any aspect of GSW operations should be filed internally to GSW authorities first and then, if necessary, to external authorities.
