the TCP/IP protocols,
the core of the Internet technology, It provides an opportunity
for students to interconnect LANs
in the laboratory using switches, routers, terminal servers etc. It heavily uses Ethernet and
TCP/IP protocols to illustrate how networking and Internet connections are
achieved. The Internet technology is revised and reinforced specifically with
respect to Internet protocols like IP,TCP,UDP, Routing protocols like OSPF.
