I used to teach two different courses each year, and 258 was the (most recent) other one. I agreed to teach 119 each semester for awhile, and have done so for the last few (3?) years. 258 is a course that analyzes Internet Protocols. In the past this has been through descriptions of the protocols and writing network programs using the Sockets interface. Next year we are going to add Ethereal, a public- source package that allows you to view packet exchanges. We will use this tool as another way to understand how the core Internet Protocols work. A lot has happened in the three years since I taught it last. I'm thinking of adding IM and Peer Networking (aka Napster) protocols as examples. - jeff parker
