Overview
A computer network is a digital telecommunications network which allows nodes to share resources. In computer networks, computing devices exchange data with each other using connections between nodes. These data links are established over cable media such as wires or optic cables, or wireless media such as Wi-Fi.
Course description
This course covers advanced topics in Computer Networking such as Software-Defined Networking (SDN), Data Center Networking and Content Distribution. The course is divided into three parts:
Part 1 is about the implementation, design principles and goals of a Computer Network
Part 2 talks about resource control and content distribution in Networking Applications.
Part 3 deals with the operations and management of computer networks encompassing SDN’s (Software Defined Networks), Traffic Engineering​ and Network Security.
Benefits
Computer Hardware & Networking is the great career field for those have interest in computers. With new technological advancements, computer management can be an exciting and rewarding career path. Computer networking and security professionals are the ones who make sure computer systems run smoothly. They can install operating systems, configure networks, backup servers, and manage network security.
