  1. CS 4119: Computer Networks Henning Schulzrinne Dept. of Computer Science Columbia University http://www.cs.columbia.edu/~hgs

  2. Almost all modern software applications are distributed from enterprise applications to video games General useful principles: dealing with asynchronicity unreliable components  predictable end systems (network) life is random and unpredictable work with other implementations that you have never met before Theory: congestion control routing How does the world really work? email, the web, P2P applications, DSL, … Learning to create professional-grade network applications not just use libraries as black boxes Why learn about computer networks?

  3. CS4119 as Foundation • Lots of Columbia Computer Science classes build on this: • COMS 4180 Network Security • COMS 6181 Advanced Internet Services • COMS 6998 Advanced Internet Routing • COMS 6180 Modeling & Performance Evaluation • COMS 6125 Web-enhanced Information Management • ELEN 6950 & 6951 Wireless & Mobile Networks • + projects in a variety of research groups

  4. Introductory (first) course in computer networking Who is this course for? Undergraduates (senior), MS students, first-year PhD students Prerequisites: Algorithms, operating systems, programming skills in C Course materials: text: Computer Networking: A Top Down Approach Featuring the Internet, Jim Kurose & Keith Ross, Addison Wesley, 3rd edition 2005 WWW readings Class notes Course Information
