Course Details
-  Network Protocol Fundamentals: This unit covers the basics of network protocols, including their role, functions, and components. It also discusses the different types of network protocols, such as TCP/IP and OSI.
-  Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) Implementation: This unit focuses on the implementation of the Transmission Control Protocol, which is a transport layer protocol that provides reliable, ordered, and error-checked delivery of a stream of packets.
-  User Datagram Protocol (UDP) Implementation: This unit covers the implementation of the User Datagram Protocol, which is a transport layer protocol that provides connectionless and unreliable delivery of a datagram.
-  Internet Protocol (IP) Implementation: This unit focuses on the implementation of the Internet Protocol, which is a network layer protocol that provides a connectionless, best-effort delivery of packets.
-  Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) Implementation: This unit covers the implementation of the Address Resolution Protocol, which is a data link layer protocol that maps an IP address to a MAC address.
-  Domain Name System (DNS) Implementation: This unit focuses on the implementation of the Domain Name System, which is a naming system that translates domain names to IP addresses.
-  Secure Socket Layer/Transport Layer Security (SSL/TLS) Implementation: This unit covers the implementation of the Secure Socket Layer and Transport Layer Security protocols, which are cryptographic protocols that provide secure communication over the internet.
-  Network Protocol Testing and Debugging: This unit discusses the methods and tools used to test and debug network protocol implementations.
- Note: The above list is not exhaustive, and the actual units offered in a Postgraduate Certificate in Network Protocol Implementation program may vary based on the institution and its curriculum.
