Network Protocols and Architecture

Cisco Networking Basics,

Welcome to the second of five courses in the Cisco Networking Basics Specialization. Have ever wondered how devices on computer networks truly communicate? There are specific protocols or rules and standards that every device must follow to access the Internet and to communicate over a network. In this course, you will examine the principles of network communication, how networks are designed and what specifically is being sent and received by different devices when we send pictures, text messages, video or any other data across the network. What exactly is sent and how is it sent are the questions that will be answered in this course. At the end of this course, you will be able to: 1. Explain how protocols and standards benefit a global internetwork. 2. Describe how the Ethernet Protocol transmits data within a LAN. 3. Explain IPv4 addressing and the role subnet masks. 4. Use Cisco Packet Tracer to connect hosts to a wireless router in a LAN. 5. Use a protocol analyzer or "packet sniffer" to open and examine a data packet that has been transmitted across a network. 6. Examine a Windows computer to locate the physical or MAC address used send and receive data.

protocols and architecture

Recommend this to anyone who is trying to understand protocols and architecture of networks.

Although it definitely SHOULD exist, it is often unreliable as a formal evaluation method and in my opinion this is something to consider changing in the future It was a very interesting course, I think I learn a lot of useful knowledge about network protocols and architecture.

network protocols

The course is really explained in a good and simplified manner but there's a problem with the many readings because they're needed to be replaced by videos because I want someone with more experience to explain this as in old school Excellent course - bite size elements give great flexibility Awsome ? Learned a lot about networks, network protocols, IP, etc.

This one is a bit dense, as it goes over the various network protocols that hosts make, but with ample animations and succinct explanations you'll get the hang of it.
