Course Outline

Learning Objectives:

  • Explain encapsulation, de-encapsulation, and modularity within the TCP/IP protocol stack.
  • Identify and articulate the specific fields and flags found in the IP header.
  • Characterise 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.
  • Outline the functioning of IP routers and the application of static versus dynamic routing.
  • Compare and contrast distance vector (RIP) and link-state (OSPF) routing protocols.
  • Elaborate on the concept and mechanics of IP subnetworking.
  • Explain supernetting, VLSM, and CIDR.
  • Describe ICMP and demonstrate the use of ping and traceroute for network connectivity diagnostics.
  • Explain the role of DHCP in facilitating dynamic IP address assignment.
  • Describe how ARP is used to map IP addresses to MAC addresses.
  • Elaborate on the function of DNS within TCP/IP environments.
  • Identify and explain the fields and flags present in both TCP and UDP headers.
  • Explain the mechanisms by which TCP ensures end-to-end reliability over an unreliable IP network.
  • Describe the operation of congestion avoidance strategies in TCP/IP networks.
  • Provide an overview and explanation of Transport Layer Security (TLS).
