Within the class there were two versions of a given test; however, these two versions were just problem permutations of each other. The results above are all for the first of these two permutations. The two classes each had different tests which were variants of each other, testing the same learning outcomes.

LO1 (Learning Outcome 1) -- Understand layered architectures.

LO2 -- Describe in detailed the seven layers in the OSI model, major functionalities in each layer, and the relationship with the TCP/IP model.

LO3 -- Analyze the performance metrics of networks, including bandwidth, delay, and error rate.

LO4 --Describe local area network protocols including Ethernet, Token Ring, and Wireless LAN, and their major schemes such as Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) in IEEE 802.1D.

LO5 --Develop a software simulator for local area network protocols.

LO6 -- Understand network protocols, RIP and OSPF, and the details of IPv4.

LO7 -- Develop a software simulator simulating RIP, OSPF, forwarding and subnetting in IPv4.

LO8 -- Understand TCP and UDP, and develop software for servers and clients of socket programming, and use them to measure the performance (including throughput and bandwidth) of real networks.

LO9 -- Use networking tools including telnet, ping, traceroute, bing, and Ethereal to evaluate simple network characteristics.

LO10 -- Understand concepts of data compression, network security and protocols.

N/A -- Important material covered in the course but not directly related to a specific learning outcome.
