Test Prep

Introduction

I have never done this before, so there are most likely holes in what follows....

Goals

• Prepare students for final exam.

Acknowledgments

The exams linked from this lab were from a different course, different text book, and different set of labs. But, I believe the questions are general enough that each pair should be able to create satisfactory solutions to most questions. Alas, because Networking is fluid, there are terms, ideas, etc. that are different between the two books/courses. My idea is that rather than specifics, you gain an understanding of the type of questions you will see. A short description of the two courses/books is:
Peterson & Davie emphasize details of protocols and the network system. The labs were more oriented on coding.
Kurose & Rose emphasis is more top level and observational which I agree is of more universal interest.

Logistics

Once again you are to continue working as a Pair.

Preparation

Finished all the Lectures, Abstracts, Labs, and Homeworks.
