Tips
• Read through the material before the lecture
• Focus on understanding the CONCEPTS
• If you don’t understand a certain layer,
chances are you will not fully understand
layers above

Assumed knowledge
• Fundamental networking stuff
NETS2009/2150 etc.
• Java Programming (especially file IO and
multi-threading)
• Maths (statistics, discrete) not majority of
course material but will be required in
places (esp. advanced)
