Advanced TCP/IP
Individuals that need advanced knowledge to support TCP/IP networks and a variety of Internet applications.
The TCP/IP Fundamentals course is recommended for an understanding of networks and data communications.
This course introduces the student to the concept of the Internet Protocol and the suite of associated protocols. Through a series of discussion modules and exercises, the student will gain knowledge in the TCP/IP suite of protocols. The course focuses on application-level protocols, extending the knowledge gained through the prerequisite course. Hands-on experience in setting up and running a small access network with a range of applications will be demonstrated.
