Anyone have a pointer to Networking class material?
Interesting discussion came up on the Fujinet channel about networking. I'd like to toss together a class on networking. This is not for VCF East 2024. I can get my hands on a sniffer,switches, FWs, cables, clients and servers. And I might be able to teach it. I've got a lot of 'stuff' (be nice) in my head. Unfortunately I need to keep it short but need to cover some basics Stack TCP/IP UDP connection connectionless Bridges Routers FW NAT Wireshark No VLANS (but the switch will use them internally), no IPv6, no RTP, no QoS, etc. I'll need to find my older Comer networking book. Did a nice job with IP networking in a small book. -- Linux Home Automation Neil Cherry kd2zrq@linuxha.com http://www.linuxha.com/ Main site http://linuxha.blogspot.com/ My HA Blog Author of: Linux Smart Homes For Dummies KD2ZRQ
Neil, Who is the keeper of the Fujinet Wifi password at Camp Evans? FN is up in preparation for VCF-E, would like to hand off the password to them Martin On 2/17/2024 1:44 PM, Neil Cherry via vcf-midatlantic wrote:

Just so you know this network class has nothing to do with this. You can share that with me. I'll make sure that it gets to the correct people. We have a call on Thursday night prepping for the Fujinet class. -- Linux Home Automation Neil Cherry kd2zrq@linuxha.com http://www.linuxha.com/ Main site http://linuxha.blogspot.com/ My HA Blog Author of: Linux Smart Homes For Dummies KD2ZRQ
Give a class at next month’s TCF. Al Katz is Asking for speakers. On Sat, Feb 17, 2024 at 1:45 PM Neil Cherry via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vcfed.org> wrote:

I won't be ready for that either. Bringing my Mom makes travel interesting. -- Linux Home Automation Neil Cherry kd2zrq@linuxha.com http://www.linuxha.com/ Main site http://linuxha.blogspot.com/ My HA Blog Author of: Linux Smart Homes For Dummies KD2ZRQ
Neil, It sounds like you've got what I use as my primary reference in teaching networking, Comer. I do sometimes also use Tannenbaum's networking book as well. Over the pandemic, I shot a bunch of lecture videos for my classes. While I didn't teach a networking course per se during that time, I did cover some networking topics. This link is a page where I have all the videos from that time frame collected together by subject and by course: http://cs.drexel.edu/~bls96/corona.html I will note that what I covered is more directed toward programming and explaining the protocols than configuring routers and doing network administration. The usual caveats: These are far from being polished professional productions. They haven't been vetted for errors. They may not be self-contained in that they may refer to things discussed outside of them and may even make reference to assignments in the classes. In other words, if I said anything wrong in them, it's a fake created by AI. If you disagree with any of the positions presented, it's a fake created by AI. If I said anything deep and profound, that part was really me. With the usual guarantee of no guarantee, you'll welcome to peruse them in case you find any of them helpful.
