The course covers the learning outcomes and goals of understanding protocols in multi-service networks, including the OSI reference model, TCP/IP protocol architecture, and ATM protocol architecture. Students will learn about the layers of communication, functions of different protocols, and examples of layer functions. The course teaches skills such as understanding domain name systems, HTTP, TCP, IP, and ATM layers. The teaching method includes lectures, examples, and practical exercises. This course is intended for individuals interested in networking, telecommunications, or IT professionals looking to deepen their understanding of network protocols.
