232 Computer and Communication Networks (4). Network architecture of the Internet, telephone networks, cable networks, and cell phone networks. Network performance models. Advanced concepts and implementations of flow and congestion control, addressing, internetworking, forwarding, routing, multiple access, streaming, and quality-of-service. Prerequisite: EECS148, CS 132, or consent of instructor. Same as EECS248A and Networked Systems 201.
