Advanced Internet Communications
Winter 2019
Course Outline
(Please see the course web site for the latest version of this outline.)
CALENDAR/COURSE DESCRIPTION
This is an advanced course on computer network communications that will focus on Internet
design and operational principles. It will enable students to understand and develop software
that implements network communications using the Berkeley/POSIX application programming
interface (API). The course also introduces many of the software tools that are used by Internet
application developers. The laboratories involve Internet communication experiments and
software development using the Python programming language.

ACCREDITATION LEARNING OUTCOMES
Note: Learning Outcomes are measured throughout the course and form part of the
Department’s continuous improvement process. They are a key component of the accreditation
process for the program and will not be taken into consideration in determining a student’s
actual grade in the course. For more information on accreditation, please ask your instructor or
visit: http://www.engineerscanada.ca .

ACADEMIC INTEGRITY
You are expected to exhibit honesty and use ethical behaviour in all aspects of the learning
process. Academic credentials you earn are rooted in principles of honesty and academic
integrity.
Academic dishonesty is to knowingly act or fail to act in a way that results or could result in
unearned academic credit or advantage. This behaviour can result in serious consequences,
e.g. the grade of zero on an assignment, loss of credit with a notation on the transcript (notation
reads: “Grade of F assigned for academic dishonesty”), and/or suspension or expulsion from the
university.
It is your responsibility to understand what constitutes academic dishonesty. For information on
the various types of academic dishonesty please refer to the Academic Integrity Policy, located
at http://www.mcmaster.ca/academicintegrity
