CS 168: Introduction to the Internet: Architecture and Protocols UC Berkeley Fall 2022 UC Berkeley's CS 168 is an undergraduate level course presenting a wide range of fundamental concepts related to the internet architecture and protocols. Students partake in several programming projects mostly in Python. Prior programming knowledge is expected.  This is an undergraduate level course covering the fundamental concepts of networking as embodied in the Internet. The course will cover a wide range of topics; see the lecture schedule for more details. While the class has a textbook, we will not follow its order of presentation but will instead use the text as a reference when covering each individual topic. The course will also have several projects that involve programming (mostly in Python).  Required: CS 61A, 61B, Math 53 or 54. Contrary to what the EECS department website says, CS 162 is not a prequisite.

You should know programming, data structures, and software engineering. In terms of mathematics, your algebra should be very solid, you need to know basic probability, and you should be comfortable with thinking abstractly. The TAs will spend very little time reviewing material that is not specific to networking. We assume that you either know the material covered in those courses or are willing to learn the material as necessary. We won’t cover any of this material in lecture. No textbook is required for this class, but we recommend [Computer Networking: A Top-Down Approach, 7th edition by Jim Kurose and Keith Ross](http://gaia.cs.umass.edu/kurose_ross/index.php) if you would like to dive deeper into the subject.

COS 461 Computer Networks Princeton University Spring 2023 Princeton University's COS 461 offers a comprehensive survey of computer networks, exploring principles from end-to-end principle to overlay networks. The course involves a study of classic to contemporary research papers and assumes prior knowledge of computer science. A survey of computer networks covering the end-to-end principle, multiplexing, virtualization, packet v. circuit switching, router design, network protocols, congestion control, internet routing architecture, network measurement, network management, and overlay networks. Survey of research papers from classic literature through contemporary research.  Students must have taken COS 217 and one of COS 316, COS 333, COS 318, COS 418, or COS 432 prior to enrolling in this course. Exceptions require explicit permission from the instructor. The assignments in this class are in Go, C, and Python. You do not need to have experience with all of these languages before taking the course. However, you should be comfortable with learning new programming languages and finding resources on your own, independently as you attack problems. You will be exposed to new programming languages and environments. ### Class Materials
