The internet—together with all of the applications it supports, like the web—has become one of the most important forces for technological progress of our era.
In this course we'll cover the key protocols that enable the internet, the web, and other applications of computer networking. This should empower you not only to make the most of present networking technologies but also to help build the future.
At the core of this course are the sequences of problems for each topic. You should aim to solve each problem, using the worked solutions and supplementary explainers as needed. There are also some full seminars, which some find helpful to tie topics together. While no textbook is necessary for this course, we do recommend Computer Networking: A Top-Down Approach ("Kurose & Ross") as a supplement, and reference relevant Kurose & Ross chapters below. For more suggestions on how to approach CS Primer, see the how-to guide.
