• distinguish between different types of network devices and their functions.
• design/implement data link and network layer protocols in a simulated networking
environment.
SYLLABUS OF DSC06
Unit 1 (8 hours)
Introduction: Types of computer networks, Internet, Intranet, network topologies (bus, star,
ring, mesh, tree, hybrid topologies), network classifications. layered architecture approach,
OSI Reference Model, TCP/IP Reference Model. Transmission Modes: simplex, half duplex
and full duplex.
Unit 2 (9 hours)
Physical Layer: Analog signal, digital signal, the maximum data rate of a channel,
transmission media (guided transmission media, wireless transmission, satellite
communication), multiplexing (frequency division multiplexing, time-division multiplexing,
wavelength division multiplexing). Guided Media (Wired) (Twisted pair, Coaxial Cable,
Fiber Optics. Unguided Media (Radio Waves, Infrared, Micro-wave, Satellite).
Unit 3 (10 hours)
Data Link and MAC Layer: Data link layer services, error detection and correction
techniques, error recovery protocols (stop and wait, go back n, selective repeat), multiple
access protocols with collision detection, MAC addressing, Ethernet, data link layer
switching, point-to-point protocol.
Unit 4 (8 hours)

subnetting, Dijkstra Routing algorithm, Distance vector routing, Network Layer protocol-
(ARP, IPV4, ICMP).
Unit 5 (10 hours)
