What are the Elements
in a Computer Network?
• Hosts – computers
• Communication medium – cables, wireless
medium (EM waves)
• Routers – forward a packet from one place
to another, decide on a path from source
to destination
• Protocols – rules governing the
communication

Achieving Connectivity is Not Easy
Transport Service User
• Layered approach
• We will study the issues in
each layer in a hybrid order
– Application
– Link
– Network

Labs
• Lab sessions are mandatory unless an
exception is granted in advance
• I will not accept the lab report if you do now
show up during the lab session without prior
notice
• Lab report must be typed (with both questions
and answers) and submitted in hardcopy on or
before due date

Projects
• Build two wiki pages
– Project#1 is waived for undergraduate students
• For individual or a team of two
• To gain extra-credit, you are encouraged to
build demonstration programs
– Java applet or plain Java application,
– NS2 simulator

Projects
• Project #1: Select a topic in Chapters 1, 3,
and 7, and build a wiki page for the topic
on http://www.pbwiki.com/.
• Example topics are:
–

Fall 2008
Introduction to computer networks
Internet history
ISO/OSI reference model
TCP/IP model
World Wide Web, HTTP, DSN

Projects
• Project #2: Select a topic in Chapters 4, 5, 6,
and build a wiki page for the topic on
http://www.pbwiki.com/
– For example topics, see the syllabus
– For undergraduate students, any topic from the
course
• As part of Project #2, peer-review and revision
steps are involved
– Each team is required to review three wiki pages built
by other teams anonymously

Class Participation
• 10% of the course credit
• In general, there is a mock quiz in the beginning
of each lecture, so that
– I know who is here & I get feedback for my teaching
• To obtain the full credit for class participation,
you must satisfy ALL of the following conditions:
– You do not miss more than 2 lectures
– You do not miss any quiz and lab sessions
– You asked at least 10 questions during the semester
• You will lose all 10% credit if you miss more than
6 lectures/labs (unless an exception is granted)

Class Participation
• Send me an email with the following information
for each question you have asked within 24
hours after each lecture:
– The question you asked
– My response
– Your comment on my response and suggestion for
improvement, if any

Class Participation
• You are also encouraged to send me
comments/suggestions on how you would like
me to improve my teaching so that it is more
conducive
• For each piece of comment/suggestion, it will be
counted as 2 questions
• If you max out the class participation credit, you
will get extra credit if you provide further
feedbacks

Quizzes
• 5 quizzes. Basically one quiz for each layer
• The quizzes are closed book and closed notes,
except that you are allowed to bring with you a
one-page hand-written cheat sheet no larger
than the US letter size (double-sided allowed)
• No makeup quizzes!
• No midterms and final exam
• Perks: only the best of 4 quizzes will be counted
towards your grade

Do not cheat!
• Do not copy other student’s lab report, quizzes
or projects
• Do not copy someone else’s work found on the
Internet
– You can quote a sentence or two, but put those in
quote and give reference

Consequences for Cheating
• You get 0 credit for the task you have cheated
• If the task is worth more than 25% of the course, it
is considered a major infraction
• Otherwise, it is considered a minor infraction
• For major infraction and repeated minor infractions
– You will get an F grade, and
– You may be suspended or repulsed from CSU
• CSU Code of Conduct
