Course Overview
Networking Theory explains the conceptual foundations of digital communication across devices, protocols, networks, and distributed systems. Learners study layered models, packet switching, addressing, routing theory, transport protocols, application-layer communication, design principles, and the structure of large-scale networked systems.
