EC8551 CN Syllabus

This document outlines the objectives, units, outcomes, and references for the course EC8551 Communication Networks. The course aims to teach students about network layering, components required to build different network types, functionality at each layer, and flow/congestion control algorithms. The 5 units cover fundamentals/link layer, media access/internetworking, routing, transport layer, and application layer. At the end of the course students should be able to identify solutions for network functionality at each layer and trace information flow between nodes. The textbook and 4 references provided support learning across all units.
