Course Outline

Learning Objectives:

  • Explain encapsulation, de-encapsulation, and modularity within the TCP/IP protocol stack.
  • Identify and describe the specific fields and flags found in IP headers.
  • Recognise 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 application of static versus dynamic routing.
  • Compare and describe distance-vector (RIP) and link-state (OSPF) routing protocols.
  • Elaborate on the concept of IP subnetworking.
  • Explain the principles of supernetting, VLSM, and CIDR.
  • Describe ICMP and utilise ping and traceroute as essential network connectivity diagnostic tools.
  • Explain the role of DHCP in managing dynamic IP address assignment.
  • Describe and apply ARP to map IP addresses to MAC addresses.
  • Explain the function of DNS within TCP/IP networks.
  • Identify and describe the fields and flags present in TCP and UDP headers.
  • Explain how TCP ensures end-to-end reliability over an unreliable IP network.
  • Describe the mechanisms of congestion avoidance in TCP/IP networks.
