Our group of accredited schools, colleges and universities (grouped collectively as The Chubb Institute and Banner Institute) offer online degrees, programs and other distance education courses in the following disciplines:
This course provides a detailed examination of the conceptual framework for modeling communications between processes residing on independent hosts, and the rules and procedures that mediate the exchange of information between two communicating processes. The OSI Reference Model is used as the basis for identifying the services and protocols required for communications to take place between processes on autonomous hosts. The OSIRM is presented and the fundamentals of protocol design are examined. The service definitions and protocol specifications for implementing each of the seven layers of the Reference Model are analyzed in detail. TCP/IP, the major open systems networking architecture, is also presented and compared with OSI. In addition, the IBM SNA and DECNET vendor network architectures are discussed. The network layer sub-architecture is introduced to explain the relationship between the network layer and real networks (subnets). Internetworking among heterogeneous subnets is described in terms of addressing and routing, and techniques for identifying different protocol suites sent over the subnets are explained. The application layer sub-architecture for providing common application services is presented, and the core building blocks for developing applications are described. The implementation of OSI through the use of profiles such as the Government Open Systems Interconnection Profile (GOSIP) is discussed. Interoperability techniques for implementing multiprotocol internets are presented, and techniques for OSI and TCP/IP coexistence are described. Topics include the OSI, TCP/IP, DECnet, and SNA protocol architectures; layering, encapsulation, SAPs, and PDUs; sliding window algorithms, flow and error control, and the HDLC and PPP protocols; the OSI network layer organization, virtual circuits and datagrams, routing and congestion control algorithms, the X.25 and Frame Relay protocols and network layer protocol ID techniques; internetworking, NSAP and IP global addressing, the CLNP, IPv4 and the evolving IPv6 internetworking protocols, and the RIP, OSPF, ES-IS, and IS-IS routing protocols; transport layer design issues and the TP4 and TCP protocols; session layer dialog control and activity management; the presentation layer ASN.1 abstract syntax and the BER transfer syntax; the OSI upper layer architecture and the ACSE, CCR, ROSE, and RTSE application service elements; and the GOSIP profile, OSI transitioning tools, and multiprotocol networks.
