  • learning Computer Networking on open paravirtual laboratories
    IEEE Transactions on Education, 2007
    Co-Authors: Marco Anisetti, Valerio Bellandi, A Colombo, Marco Cremonini, Ernesto Damiani, Fulvio Frati, Joel T Hounsou, Davide Rebeccani
    Abstract:

    Learning practical information communication technology skills such as network configuration and security planning requires hands-on experience with a number of different devices which may be unavailable or too costly to provide, especially for institutions under tight budget constraints. This paper describes how a specific open software technology, paravirtualization, can be used to set up open source virtual Networking labs (VNLs) easily and at virtually no cost. The paper highlights how paravirtual labs can be adopted jointly by partner organizations, e.g., when the institution hosting the virtual lab provides hands-on training and students' skill evaluation as a service to partner institutions overseas. A practical VNL implementation, the open virtual lab (OVL), is used to describe the added value that open source VNLs can give to e-Learning frameworks, achieving a level of students' performance comparable or better than the one obtained when students directly interact with physical Networking equipment.

  • teaching Computer Networking with the help of personal Computer networks
    Technical Symposium on Computer Science Education, 2004
    Co-Authors: Rocky K C Chang
    Abstract:

    This paper describes an "experiential" learning approach to teaching a foundational course on Computer Networking. In additional to the traditional laboratory sessions and analytical problem-solving, I have introduced a class project based on personal Computer networks for the last three years. Each project group sets up and owns an IP private network throughout the course, and they perform various experiments on it to verify and test the Networking principles learned from the textbooks and lectures. The students' feedbacks collected so far are extremely positive. Not only they can acquire practical skills during the process, they are able to better understand the abstract Networking concepts and protocols through their working experience with the personal Computer networks.

  • the significance of network resources in the race to enter emerging product markets the convergence of telephony communications and Computer Networking 1989 2001
    Strategic Management Journal, 2007
    Co-Authors: Gwendolyn K Lee
    Abstract:

    This paper focuses on the role of network resources and examines the associated mechanisms that affect the timing of entry into an emerging product market. Linking network theory to market entry research, I analyze the pattern in the structure, relation, and composition of 517 firms' strategic alliances as the firms face the decision of whether and when to enter the Networking switches market over a 13-year period from 1989 to 2001. The context for empirical testing is the voice/data convergence between telephony communications and Computer Networking technologies during which the industry boundary blurs. Firms that have access to information of high quality, large quantity, and compositional heterogeneity are likely to enter the newly developed market more quickly. However, network configuration lock-in and network costs may counterbalance the benefits derived from network resources. I discuss the implications of these findings for research on social networks and the timing of market entry. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

  • Computer Networking: A Top-Down Approach
    2016
    Co-Authors: Jim Kurose, Keith W Ross
    Abstract:

    Certain data-communication protocols hog the spotlight, but all of them have a lot in common. Computer Networking: A Top-Down Approach Featuring the Internet explains the engineering problems that are inherent in communicating digital information from point to point. The top-down approach mentioned in the subtitle means that the book starts at the top of the protocol stack--at the application layer--and works its way down through the other layers, until it reaches bare wire. The authors, for the most part, shun the well-known seven-layer Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) protocol stack in favor of their own five-layer (application, transport, network, link, and physical) model. It's an effective approach that helps clear away some of the hand waving traditionally associated with the more obtuse layers in the OSI model. The approach is definitely theoretical--don't look here for instructions on configuring Windows 2000 or a Cisco router--but it's relevant to reality, and should help anyone who needs to understand Networking as a programmer, system architect, or even administration guru.The treatment of the network layer, at which routing takes place, is typical of the overall style. In discussing routing, authors James Kurose and Keith Ross explain (by way of lots of clear, definition-packed text) what routing protocols need to do: find the best route to a destination. Then they present the mathematics that determine the best path, show some code that implements those algorithms, and illustrate the logic by using excellent conceptual diagrams. Real-life implementations of the algorithms--including Internet Protocol (both IPv4 and IPv6) and several popular IP routing protocols--help you to make the transition from pure theory to Networking technologies. --David WallTopics covered: The theory behind data networks, with thorough discussion of the problems that are posed at each level (the application layer gets plenty of attention). For each layer, there's academic coverage of Networking problems and solutions, followed by discussion of real technologies. Special sections deal with network security and transmission of digital multimedia.

  • Computer Networking a top down approach 6th edition
    2012
    Co-Authors: Jim Kurose, Keith W Ross
    Abstract:

    &Computer Networking continues with an early emphasis on application-layer paradigms and application programming interfaces (the top layer), encouraging a hands-on experience with protocols and Networking concepts, before working down the protocol stack to more abstract layers. This book has become the dominant book for this course because of the authors reputations, the precision of explanation, the quality of the art program, and the value of their own supplements.

  • workshop report acm sigcomm workshop on Computer Networking curriculum designs and educational challenges
    Computer Communication Review, 2002
    Co-Authors: Jim Kurose, Jorg Liebeherr, Shawn Ostermann, T Ottboisseau
    Abstract:

    This year’s annual ACM Sigcomm Conference featured a one-day workshop entitled "Computer Networking: Curriculum Designs and Educational Challenges." The goal of the workshop was to bring together faculty from a broad spectrum of four-year colleges and universities, industry engineers and scientists, and others with an interest in Networking education to discuss curriculum design and teaching practices in the field of Computer networks. Eighty-nine people participated in this first-ever workshop focused solely on the educational aspects of the Networking field. Workshop activities included panels on undergraduate curricula, laboratory-based courses, and graduate curricula. This report summarizes the workshop’s presentations, discussions, and findings, as well as plans for future education-related activities.
