This course is intended for students with an IT or electrical engineering background to advance their understanding of network operations. At the end of the course, students will be capable of building a network with routers and select a routing protocol for the network. Routing is an essential element of all networks that can have significant impact on the performance of a network.

This course links routing theory to practical experience. Apart from introducing the two routing algorithms widely used in the Internet, i.e., link state and distance vector, this course discusses their applications in various routing protocols, such EIGRP, OSPF, and provides the first-hand experience to teach students how to set up a small-to-medium size network with handful routers and uses various routing protocols.
