Comp 443 Computer Networks		Final Exam Study Guide

The exam will cover material in the following sections. Some of the
midterm study topics appear here, but some do not (and will thus not
be on the final). 

Chapter 2:	2.5: sliding windows (only as it applies to TCP)

Chapter 4:	4.1: basic IP
		4.2: routing
		4.3: subnets, supernets, BGP, and the Internet
		     (omit 4.3.5, on IPv6)
                     There will be no questions on the specifics of BGP.

Chapter 5:	5.1: UDP
		5.2: TCP
			State diagrams
			Timers
			TCP scenarios
			TFTP scenarios (not WUMP, sorry)
			Actually, TFTP will NOT be on the exam!

		5.3: RPC

			SunRPC, NFS (Network File Sharing), T/TCP

Chapter 6:	6.1.2: Taxonomy
