Equipment for a Computer Networks Laboratory

该项目将创建一个计算机网络实验室，它将是新开发的本科计算机网络课程的一个不可或缺的重要组成部分，该课程面向计算机科学和电气工程专业的学生。计算机网络课程将涵盖计算机网络设计、实施和性能的理论和实践两个方面。该实验室将结合计算机网络的实际开发和使用，拓宽本科生的经验。中断网络及其相关计算机的运行的要求使得为网络使用现有的计算机设施是不切实际的。除了用于本科生的计算机网络课程外，该实验室还将用于本科生的操作系统课程和未来的分布式系统课程。电气工程专业的学生可以选修计算机网络课程，也可以利用实验室完成与计算机网络相关的设计项目。

This project is to create a computer networks laboratory which will be an integral and essential part of a newly developed undergraduate computer networks course, aimed at students in both Computer Science and Electrical Engineering. The computer networks course will cover both the theoretical and practical aspects of computer network design, implementation, and performance. The laboratory will broaden the experience of undergraduate students with the actual development and use of computer networks. The requirement to interrupt the operation of the network, and its associated computers, makes it impractical to use existing computer facilities for the networks. In addition to its use by the undergraduate computer networks class, the laboratory will used in the undergraduate operating systems course and a future distributed systems course. Electrical Engineering students can take the computer networks course as an electrical engineering elective and can also use the laboratory to work on design projects associated with computer networks.
