Course Outline

Learning Objectives:

  • Explain the concepts of encapsulation, de-encapsulation, and modularity within the TCP/IP protocol stack.
  • Identify and describe the specific fields and flags present in IP headers.
  • Outline and explain IP address classes A, B, and C.
  • Apply subnet masks to determine the network segment of an IP address.
  • Differentiate between classful and classless IP addressing schemes.
  • Describe the functioning of IP routers and the implementation of both static and dynamic routing.
  • Compare and contrast distance vector (RIP) and link-state (OSPF) routing protocols.
  • Elaborate on the principles of IP subnetworking.
  • Explain the concepts of supernetting, VLSM, and CIDR.
  • Describe ICMP and utilize tools such as ping and traceroute for network connectivity testing.
  • Detail the role of DHCP in assigning dynamic IP addresses.
  • Explain how ARP maps IP addresses to MAC addresses.
  • Describe the function of DNS within TCP/IP networks.
  • Identify and analyze the fields and flags found in TCP and UDP headers.
  • Explain how TCP ensures end-to-end reliability over unreliable IP networks.
  • Describe the mechanisms of congestion avoidance in TCP/IP environments.
  • Provide an overview of Transport Layer Security (TLS).
