This course is presenting main concepts and protocols of computer networks. Design features and architectures of local area networks, medium and high speed networks as well as Internet protocols are systematically and methodically detailled. This conceptual and practical approach enables each one to better understand the current supply, the evolution and the prospect of present and future computers networks.
