Course Objectives
Internetworking is a term
utilized by the system items and services as a far reaching term for all the
ideas, innovations, and generic devices that permit individuals and their PCs
to communicate across different kinds of networks. For instance, somebody at a
PC on a token ring local area network may need to communicate someone at a
computer on an Ethernet local area network in another country using a wide area
network interconnection. The common internetwork protocols, routing tables, and
related network devices required to achieve this communication constitute
internetworking.

|
CO1
|
Learn
the architectural choices made in the development of Internet, wireless
networks, content delivery networks (CDNs).
|
|
CO2
|
Learn
the core protocols behind each of the Internet, wireless networks, CDNs

Teaching methodology
Students are expected to attend classes
and raise questions. Apart from this, exercises/assignments based on Protocol
specifications and/or RFC's would be given which students would do as take home
and/or self assessment tasks.

Syllabus for Comprehensive Exam (Open
Book): All topics (Session Nos. 1 to 32)
Important links and information:
Elearn portal:
https://elearn.bits-pilani.ac.in
Students are expected to visit the
Elearn portal on a regular basis and stay up to date with the latest
announcements and deadlines.
Contact sessions:
Students should attend the online lectures as per the schedule provided on the
Elearn portal.
Evaluation Guidelines:
1.
EC-1 consists of either two Assignments
or three Quizzes. Students will attempt them through the course pages on the
Elearn portal. Announcements will be made on the portal, in a timely manner.
2.
For Closed Book tests: No books or
reference material of any kind will be permitted.
3.
For Open Book exams: Use of books and
any printed / written reference material (filed or bound) is permitted.
However, loose sheets of paper will not be allowed. Use of calculators is
permitted in all exams. Laptops/Mobiles of any kind are not allowed. Exchange
of any material is not allowed.
4.
If a student is unable to appear for the
Regular Test/Exam due to genuine exigencies, the student should follow the
procedure to apply for the Make-Up Test/Exam which will be made available on
the Elearn portal. The Make-Up Test/Exam will be conducted only at selected
exam centres on the dates to be announced later.
It shall be the responsibility of the
individual student to be regular in maintaining the self study schedule as
given in the course handout, attend the online lectures, and take all the
prescribed evaluation components such as Assignment/Quiz, Mid-Semester Test and
Comprehensive Exam according to the evaluation scheme provided in the handout.
