課程概述：
This course provides a comprehensive, principles-based introduction to computer networking through a top-down lens, starting from the application layer and working down to the physical link. Guided by James F. Kurose and Keith W. Ross's Computer Networking: A Top-Down Approach, students will explore key internet protocols, network architectures, and fundamental abstractions—including HTTP, DNS, TCP/UDP congestion and flow control, IP addressing and routing algorithms, and link-layer technologies. By grounding abstract concepts in the everyday applications students interact with daily, the course bridges theoretical foundations with practical hands-on experience, utilizing socket programming and network packet analysis to equip students with a deep understanding of modern networking infrastructure.
