=Validation= This is being validated by Prof Khambayat

Who are the learners?
The Learners are Graduates. The Course is for Post Graduate Level. The Learners are Adults.

What are the teaching objectives?
List what you aim to teach or what you expect the learners to do after working through your teaching materials.
 * Learn about the Content Matter
 * Develop Team Skills
 * Develop Problem Solving skills for the given content

Specifying the characteristics for your resource
1. What is the subject? Advanced Compute Networks 2. What is the topic? Content Given in Tabular Form Below 3. What type of resource are you developing? For example, Tutorial, Handout, Workshop, Study guide, Textbook, Handbook, Toolkit, Research paper. PoBL is Problem Based Learning, there would be some handouts, few study guides. Students would develop Journal and Handbook or Research Paper 4. Sector Higher education 5. Level Tertiary education M.Tech Level 6. Complexity The level of difficulty you are planning.In PoBL it would move from simple to Complex. There are three options: 7. Intended Audience Post graduate students. 8. Learning hours The intended time that a learner is supposed to spend on the resource, eg 2.5 hours per day, five days a week for each unit

= Unit 1 =

Layering, Client Server Model, Application Programming, Interfaces, RFCS, Internet Address, Link Layer, SLIP, PPP, Ethernet 802, Encapsulation, IP Header, Routing, Subnet Addressing, Subnet Mask, CIDR, Special Case IP Addesses

*Problems: A new software company has to give a client server solution. As a network designer you have to develop the routing and give addressing. A scope for further expantion to IPv6 is also to be planned. As a team you have to find existing solutions being provided by others also. The end desirable outcome is a networking diagram for the client which is easy to understand

= Unit 2 =

Address Resolution Protocol, ARP Cache, Proxy ARP, RARP, Intenet Message Control Protocol (ICMP), IP Routing, Routing Principles, Dynamic Routing, RIPv2, OSPF,BGP

* Problem : A research team has to be part of Indian Internet Potocol Core Group to write a paper to the ministry on need for undertaking research in the area of ARP, Routing. The desired outcome is summary of the existing work with references and tabulate the international work done these areas along with the agencies involved. The same paper is to published in an International Journal

= Unit 3 =

TCP Header, TCP Services, UDP, IP Fragmentation, Broadcasting, Multicasting, Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP), Domain Name System (DNS), Resource Records, Caching, DNS Message Format

= Unit 4 =

TCP/IP over ATM, Mobile IP, Private Network Interconnection-NAT,VPN,DHCP,Voice and Video over IP, IPv6,Internet Management SNMP, Socket Programming, RPC and NFC

= Unit 5 =

Basics of Internet, TCP/IP, Addressing and Routing, Internet Applications, WEb Servers and Browsers and Security, Creating Website and the markup languages, Dynamic functionality in Web pages (Introduction to CGI scripts, Java Scripts, Servlets, JSP, ASP,COM, DCOM), Internet and Web Protocols
