Other Data Communications and Networking Resources

• Networking: Overview of information available

• There's a great collection of tutorials on various Data Communications and Computer Network topics at http://bbs-koi.uniinc.msk.ru/tech/tutorial.htm Quote from the page: The documents that can be reached from this page are student projects. They were prepared by students in courses taught at Tel Aviv University and the Technion, Israel Institute of Technology, by Dr. Debby Koren, Technology Consultant at RAD Data Communications. RAD is proud of its contributions to the universities, which include these courses, so that we may help prepare the future engineers and computer scientists for our industry.

• The Globewide Network Academy, where you can find, among other goodies, an Introduction To The Internet on-line hypertext teaching course which shows you how to use the Internet to your best advantage.

• The Simple Web - network management site, documenting an SNMP implementation project in The Netherlands, with pointers to other sites with SNMP information, and other networking-related topics.

• The TU Braunschweig (in Germany) Network Management project has lots of information on SNMP and related topics, and has pointers to the home page of tkined, which they developed.

• Related to SNMP (obviously), the ASN.1 home page is here.

• The Ethernet: Access to Ethernet Information server is also available via the "Networking: Overview of information available" server mentioned above, but this is the direct path to it.

• There are some excellent ATM tutorials on the Web. The following is a good example: http://www.cicese.mx/~aarmenta/frames/redes/atm/tutorial2.html

• Another slightly different source is Fred's Cool Network Info, which may have just the obscure fact that you're looking for.

• For the firewalls and network security lecture sequence, these links to some firewall pages might be useful.

• This PGP page could be useful for assignment 3. Look here for more useful URLS to do with WWW security

• Would you believe an On-line RS232 Cable Designer???

• Robert Minch's IS380 Data Comms course at Boise State University is a business oriented subject with some similarity to the Bendigo subjects C202, C205 and IT8.

• Dr. Anthony A. Verstraete's MIS Web site at Penn State University could have some useful references for the management-related aspects of computer networking and data communications.

• The Micromuse company in England has a nice set of pointers to many, many networking resources on the Internet.

• Dr Roger Clarke at the Australian National University has a page on the topic of Electronic Commerce, which will be very useful for Computing 205 and IT8.

• The VICNET web site has a pointer to businesses in Victoria which are using the Internet. Point your browser at Business In Victoria And On The Net for lots of good pointers.

• The Network Book is a new resource at Columbia University which covers material mainly relevant to Computing 205, but may have some good stuff for 202 as well.

• Of course, some people aren't aware that IP is really an acronym for Interchange Pizza :-)
