Course Outline

Learning Objectives:

  • Explain the concepts of encapsulation, de-encapsulation, and modularity within the TCP/IP protocol stack.
  • Identify and explain the specific fields and flags contained in the IP header.
  • Describe and distinguish between IP address classes A, B, and C.
  • Apply subnet masks to determine the network segment of an IP address.
  • Articulate the differences between classful and classless IP addressing schemes.

  • Compare and contrast distance vector (RIP) and link-state (OSPF) routing protocols.
  • Provide a detailed explanation of IP subnetworking.
  • Describe and explain the principles of supernetting, VLSM, and CIDR.
  • Explain the role of ICMP and demonstrate the use of ping and traceroute for network connectivity diagnostics.
  • Describe the utility of DHCP in managing dynamic IP addressing.
  • Explain how ARP is used to map IP addresses to MAC addresses.
  • Detail the role and implementation of DNS within TCP/IP networks.
  • Identify and explain the fields and flags present in TCP and UDP headers.
  • Describe the mechanisms by which TCP ensures end-to-end reliability over unreliable IP networks.
