Textbook:

Computer Networking: A Top-Down Approach, 6th Edition, James F. Kurose and Keith W. Ross, Addison-Welsey, 2012

Programming Projects in Spring 2013:

* One or multiple Java programs need to be developed for each of the following projects. 

** Due to the resource constrain (e.g., you may only have access to one computer), each party (a client, a server, a peer, or a host) in a project may be simulated using one of the multiple processes running on the same computer.
