BTCS 403 Computer Networks

This document outlines the objectives and expected outcomes of the BTCS 403 Computer Networks-I course. The course provides knowledge about computer network hardware and software using a layered architecture model. It covers topics such as the physical layer, data link layer, medium access sub-layer, and network layer. The course also introduces transport layer protocols like TCP and UDP, as well as application layer protocols including the World Wide Web, DNS, email, and FTP. The accompanying lab course provides hands-on experience with networking components, transmission media, cable preparation, LAN topologies, TCP/IP configuration, file sharing, subnet planning, and FTP servers.
