2/21/23, 11:50 AM Computer Networking: a Top Down Approach

Online presentations
We are developing online lectures (that can be used with the open knowledge check
(knowledgechecks) review questions and interactive (interactive)problems) for students who are
learning at a distance -- whether because of the pandemic or simply because it is not possible to
have a synchronous face-to-face classroom experience. These are part of the material for an on-
line (only) course that one of us (Jim) taught in the Fall of 2020, with additional material added
after that. We're making this available to anyone who'd like to learn from this material, and hope
folks will find them interesting and useful. There are a few missing sections in chapters 5 and 6,
which we're working on in July 2021, with chapters 7 and 8 (which are typically covered only
briefly, if at all, in an introductory networking course) to follow.

Online lectures and review questions.
