IST 220 - NETWORKING AND TELECOMMUNICATIONS (3)
Course Description: Introduction to digital network topologies; transmission media, signal modulation, digital packet switching and routing, systems integration, communications management, and security.
IST 220 was a 10-chapter investigation into the world of networking. It focused on studying different protocols, types of wires, and devices used in networking. As part of the course, my team, the Illuminaughty was responsible for three labs (we did a bonus fourth lab) and a presentation. We learned the history of networking and basically studied its evolution up until understanding and studying present day techniques. We studied LANs, WANs, and finally, the internet.
IST 220 taught me a lot of valulable information used in the real world. I had always been comfortable with setting up a private, home, network - but I never really understood what was going on. Even little things, like understanding that the term "modem" comes from MOdulator/DEModulator allowed me to gain a better grasp of what I'm actually doing when I'm setting up a network. The labs also provided me with my first real exposure to large network switches/hubs.
