Requirements
A Basic Understanding of Computers
Description
In this course, we will be covering the concept of Computer Networks Communication .
Computer Network is a connection of two or more devices that are connected through a medium in order to exchange information. With the help of a Computer Network, you can easily send or receive data to or from a computing device.
These networks are the foundation for the Web, and they enable companies such as Google, Facebook and Amazon. This course introduces the fundamental problems of computer networking, from sending bits over wires to running distributed applications. For each problem, we explore the design strategies that have proven valuable in practice.
In this complete tutorial, we will learn what are the features and uses of Computer Networks. We will cover the Reference Model along with its categories.
We will cover the detailed description of the seven-layered OSI model along with the functioning performed by each layer.
You will also find different protocols used at each layer of the OSI model along with the pros and cons of that protocol.
