Course Relevance: A system of interconnected computers and computerized peripherals such as
printers is called computer network. This interconnection among computers facilitates information
sharing among them by using data communication. The main objective of computer network is to
enable seamless exchange of data between any two points in the world. This course will explore
common network services and protocols such as email, web services etc Networking is an ever-
growing domain in which there is a constant need of support. Networks are becoming progressively
more and more convoluted as the technology is advancing and flourishing.
