Program Description
Advanced network design, scalability, and performance optimization for complex systems.
Course overview
NETW 2100 Network Architecture II builds on the foundations of network design by exploring advanced concepts required for complex, large-scale systems. You will learn how to architect networks that scale efficiently while maintaining high performance and reliability. The course covers scalable topologies, advanced routing protocols, and performance optimization techniques.
Through hands-on labs and a comprehensive design project, you will develop the skills to plan, implement, and troubleshoot enterprise networks. You will also learn how to integrate security measures into the network architecture to protect data and resources.
