Course programme
In this lesson you'll begin using command-line tools to explore the network: ping to check hosts, and nc(netcat) to manually communicate with web servers and to emulate a web server. You'll also learn about port numbers and the layering of HTTP on top of TCP.
Lesson 2: Names and AddressesIn this lesson you'll learn about the Domain Name System (DNS). Optionally, you'll register your own domain name for your web server. You'll also learn more about the binary representation of IP addresses.
Lesson 3: Addressing and NetworksIn this lesson you'll learn more details about Internet addressing: network blocks, interfaces, network address translation (NAT), and IPv6.
Lesson 4: Protocol LayersIn this lesson you'll use tcpdump to examine the packets that make up the requests and responses for three protocols: ping, DNS, and HTTP. You'll learn more about how TCP sessions work.
Lesson 5: Big NetworksIn this lesson you'll learn more about bandwidth, latency, filtering, and other properties that matter when users are accessing your application over the Internet.
