Dive into computer networking fundamentals through a comprehensive 1.5-hour course covering essential topics such as OSI and TCP/IP models, routing, switching, and subnetting. Explore key protocols including TCP, UDP, DNS, and HTTP. Learn about Protocol Data Units (PDUs), encapsulation, and decapsulation in computer networks. Understand Round Trip Time (RTT) and how to measure it using the Ping utility. Discover the concept of jitter and different types of MAC addresses. Delve into IP addressing, comparing IPv4 and IPv6, and distinguishing between private and public IP addresses. Gain hands-on experience analyzing ARP requests, responses, and UDP using Wireshark. Investigate the process of resolving public IP addresses to Autonomous System Numbers (ASN). Compare distance vector and link state routing protocols to round out your networking knowledge.

    I really enjoyed this course on computer networking. The instructors explained complex concepts like the OSI model, TCP/IP, and routing protocols in a very clear and structured way. The materials were well-organized, and I appreciated the balance between theory and real-world examples.

    Even though some topics were challenging at first, the explanations and additional readings helped a lot. This course gave me a much stronger understanding of how networks work behind the scenes. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone interested in computer science or IT.
