During this course, I gained an introduction to theories and practical techniques related to the construction and management of computer networks.  I learned about:

• The 7-tier OSI network model
• The variety of physical media used to transport network signal
• The structure of packets
• The creation of local area networks using hubs, routers, and wireless access points
• The difference between latency, bandwidth, and jitter
• Debugging network issues using tools like ping, traceroute, and WireShark
• The structure of TCP/IP communication
• The importance of IPv6
