About the training
This module introduces the architecture, structure, functions, components, and models of the Internet and other computer networks. It uses the OSI and TCP layered models to examine the nature and roles of protocols and services at the application, transport, network, data link, and physical layers. The principles and structure of IP addressing, and the fundamentals of Ethernet concepts, media, and operations are introduced. This module also offers an introduction to the architecture and operation of routers, routing protocols and the principles of routing.
