Computer Networks

This course, CS.4514, teaches the core principles of computer networks and systems under the guidance of Professor Dr. Mark Claypool. With a focus on multimedia performance and collaborative filtering, students will engage in hands-on programming across different network layers using C and Unix. The course includes two non-cumulative exams, multiple programming projects, and group work, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of networked systems. Prerequisites include C programming and Operating Systems. Join us to explore the networks that are integral to modern computing!
