Unix and C (In case you have forgot them)
Daemon Programming
Principles of Computer Networks
Methods of Supporting Interprocess Communication
Internet Protocols
Socket Programming
Remote Procedure Calls
Systems Support for Network Services
TCP/IP

Course Features

Consolidation of your Unix knowledge. You are supposed to have some background knowledge of Unix. But we will have a self-contained chapter to teach you even more than a special Unix course. And you will become a powerful Unix user at both command level and system call level.
Both practical and theoretical. Unlike other network courses that are either practical or theoretical, we emphasize on both sides. You will have hands-on training of writing TCP/IP socket programs, and also have a deep investigation into TCP/IP protocols in detail. These will pave the way for your future research work.
Anatomy of TCP/IP: We will go through each part of TCP/IP protocol suite. You will never be puzzled by the working principle of the Internet.
and more you will find by yourself.

Required Backgrounds

Undergraduate background in
- Operating System,
- Computer Architecture,
Programming skill:
- Proficiency with UNIX and C (or C++) is required since the students are requested to write C programs on various UNIX-based computers.
