IP Networking

General

This course will give the students an insight and understanding of the TCP / IP protocol stack from the physical layer to the application layer. The students will learn the operation of different protocols within the TCP / IP suite such TCP, UDP, ICMP, HTTP, FTP, SMTP, ARP, DNS and DHCP, understand data transmission and IPv4/ IPv6. features.

Contents

• Describe IPv4 and IPv6 protocol, addressing / aggregation

• Describe IPv6 packet structure, protocol header, features and the different types of IPv6 addresses
• Describe the purpose and operation of different protocols such as TCP, UDP, ICMP, HTTP, FTP, TFTP, SMTP, POP3, IMAP, ARP, DNS and DHCP
• Describe the OSI reference model and how it relates to the TCP / IP stack
• Describe the TCP and UDP protocol structures, headers and functionality
• Analysis on the operation of different protocols / applications (DNS, HTTP, FTP, TFTP, SMTP, POP3, IMAP, etc.)
• Describe the purpose and operation of different network devices and routing protocols used in IP networking
• Describe basic LAN technologies(Ethernet, FDDI , Token Ring)
• IP routing: static , dynamic ,distance-vector algorithm , link-state algorithm, external routing ,internal routing
