Credit hours: 3 Pass Marks: 24+8+8
Nature of course: Theory (3 Hrs.) + Lab (3 Hrs.)
Course Synopsis: Design and development of distributed networking system.
Goal: The course covers about: the function and structure of communications sub-nets, network architectures and their protocols,
approaches to the organisation of sub-nets and their architectures, processes of network and protocol design, role of network standards and
their relationship to products, Network OS, Distributed Object Network and advance applications.
Course contents:
Unit 1: 8Hrs
Protocols-functions, design, implementation and testing, Architectures, Standards and Protocols-TCP OSI/IP, connectionless and connection-
oriented protocols, protocol stacks, Internetworking-bridges and routers, Internet design and evolution.
Unit 2: 8Hrs

Systems-client/server model, workstations.
Unit 3: 8Hrs
Inter-process Communication: API for Internet protocols, External data representation and Marshalling, Client server architecture, Peer-to-
peer architecture, Client-Server communication and Group communication
Unit 4: 8Hrs
