Understanding TCP/IP
The Understanding TCP/IP course provides students with a technical overview of the Internet Protocol suite commonly known as TCP/IP, so they can clearly understand, evaluate, and explain to others the potential communication opportunities TCP/IP presents. The Internet is ubiquitous. Around the globe, it is almost doubling in size every year. Its customer base includes corporations, nonprofit organizations, the government, educational institutions, and homes. It is the most commonly used form of global communications the world has ever seen. Subsequently, as a communications professionals, students need to understand the TCP/IP protocol suite in order to grasp the issues of connecting to and using the Internet.
