This specialization covers the fundamentals of networking within modern computing infrastructure. IT infrastructure has shifted towards software-oriented networks and cloud-based services, changing the roles of engineers. The specialization begins with Network Systems Principles to establish a foundation. Whether you have prior experience or not, this section will be beneficial. Next, we focus on two key areas: Linux Networking and Cloud Networking. In Linux Networking, you'll learn to build network infrastructure using Linux, applicable to switches, routers, and containerized infrastructure like Kubernetes. In Cloud Networking, you'll explore network abstractions in the cloud and understand the underlying infrastructure of cloud providers. By the end, you'll be equipped to create complex networked applications in the cloud and effectively troubleshoot them.
This course can be taken for academic credit as part of CU Boulder’s Masters of Science in Computer Science (MS-CS) degrees offered on the Coursera platform. This fully accredited graduate degree offer targeted courses, short 8-week sessions, and pay-as-you-go tuition. Admission is based on performance in three preliminary courses, not academic history. CU degrees on Coursera are ideal for recent graduates or working professionals. Learn more:

Welcome! Throughout this course, Network Systems Foundations, you will delve into the fundamental layers of network communication. You will start with a thorough discussion of the Link Layer and its crucial role, moving on to the intricacies of Internet Protocol (IP) and router data planes, and then navigate through the complexities of the transport layer, application layer, and network security. With a practical focus, you'll write Python code to manage routing tables, analyze network traffic, simulate router functionalities, and create digital certificates for web servers. By the end of this course, you will have a well-rounded understanding of networking principles, from data transmission and routing to application protocols and security, and will be equipped with practical skills to navigate the ever-evolving landscape of network technology. By completing this course, learners will be able to: 1. Describe the layers in depth and how they relate to one another 2. Analyze traffic through python programming 3. Design a simplified routing protocol that has similar features as to what powers the Internet 4. Create a client and server with socket programming 5. Generate certificates for TLS which powers the security in https This course can be taken for academic credit as part of CU Boulder’s MS in Electrical Engineering or MS in Computer Science degrees offered on the Coursera platform.
