v     ADVANCED COMPUTER NETWORKS :--

v     OBLECTIVES: ---

In first part, advanced technologies like High speed Devices etc. are to be considered. Second part Network programming is to be studied. Not just SOCKETS but also protocols, Drivers, Simulation Programming. In third part we should study Network Design, Protocols designs and analysis considering deterministic and non-deterministic approach. We expect natural thinking from student. For example he should able to consider different constraints and assume suitable data and solve the problems.
