representation, addressing, flow control, error detection, security, congestion, etc)
• Understand switching network techniques and switched network types
• Explain the operation of various internetworking devices
• Discuss, explain and understand different categories of high speed protocols, multimedia communication
system as well as network security issues.
• Explain issues related to Software Defined Network (SDN) as well as network design management
systems
• Understand an overview of Cutting-edge technologies for a new generation of computing systems and
applications.
