  • Unit 9: Networking

    Computer networking has become an increasingly important field. When we discuss networking, we are not just referring to connecting computers together in one location but also about broader connections through the Internet.

    • Upon successful completion of this unit, you will be able to:

      • explain basic networking principles;
      • discuss protocols and how they are used; and
      • explain reference models, particularly TCP/IP and OSI.
