Course Format

The classroom sessions will proceed in the following way:

1. Students read the material to be covered in Internetworking.

2. We go over slides (ppt or pdf) with time for questions.

3. The remaining time will be spent unpacking the less obvious points, going beyond the text, and talking about how the concepts would be put into practice. As much of this time as is required will be spent discussing C programming.
