Course Objectives
The objective of this course is to make the students
understand and able to explain data communication
architecture, TCP/IP, Open System Interconnection
(OSI), and network models.
The emphasis is on studying and analyzing basic
functionality, the technologies and protocols needed in
a converged switched network and Wide Area Network
(WAN), routing protocol and an operation of routers.

Course Synopsis
This subject will explains the role and nature of the
main application protocols and their relation to protocols
and services provided to them by the lower layers of
the network.
This subject are technology focused and student
thoroughly learn each technology (Routing, switching
and WANs).
The rationale of offering this subject is as providing vast
knowledge on networking topics, from fundamentals to
advanced application and services, while providing
hands-on experience and as well as preparation for
Certified Cisco Network Associate (CCNA) exams.

Many diverse types of devices can communicate using the
same sets of protocols
This is because protocols specify network functionality, not the
underlying technology to support this functionality
