CS158aSpring 2011Lecture Notes
Computer Networks
Videos of lectures are available. As
they are on my office machine and I don't want robots to try to download them, the

Below are my lecture notes for the class so far.
They should serve as a rough guide to what was covered on any given day.
Frequently, however, I say more in class than is in these notes.
Also, I tend to dynamically correct typos on the board
that might appear in these lecture notes. So caveat emptor.
