课程详情

You pick up your iPhone while waiting in line at a coffee shop. You google a not-so-famous actor, get linked to a Wikipedia entry listing his recent movies and popular YouTube clips of several of them. You check out user reviews on Amazon and pick one, download that movie on BitTorrent or stream that in Netflix. But suddenly the WiFi logo on your phone is gone and you're on 3G. Video quality starts to degrade, but you don't know if it's the server getting crowded or the Internet is congested somewhere. In any case, it costs you $10 per Gigabyte, and you decide to stop watching the movie, and instead multitask between sending tweets and calling your friend on Skype, while songs stream from iCloud to your phone. You're happy with the call quality, but get a little irritated when you see there're no new followers on Twitter. You may wonder how they all kind of work, and why sometimes they don't. Take a look at the list of 20 questions below. Each question is selected not just for its relevance to our daily lives, but also for the core concepts in the field of networking illustrated by its answers. This course is about formulating and answering these 20 questions. All the features of this course are available for free. It does not offer a certificate upon completion.

网络:朋友,金钱和字节:您在咖啡馆排队等候时拿起iPhone。您在Google不太知名的演员上搜索,并链接到Wikipedia条目,其中列出了他最近的电影以及其中几部的受欢迎的YouTube剪辑。您可以在Amazon上查看用户评论,然后选择其中一个,在BitTorrent上下载该电影,或在Netflix中进行流式传输。但是突然之间,手机上的WiFi徽标消失了,您正在使用3G。视频质量开始下降,但是您不知道是服务器拥挤还是互联网拥挤。无论如何,每千兆字节的价格为10美元,您决定停止观看电影,而是在发送推文和在Skype上致电您的朋友之间同时执行多任务,同时歌曲从iCloud流到您的手机。您对通话质量感到满意,但是当看到Twitter上没有新的关注者时,您会有些恼火。您可能想知道它们如何工作,为什么有时却不起作用。请看下面的20个问题列表。选择每个问题不仅是因为它与我们的日常生活相关,而且还因为其答案所说明的网络领域的核心概念。本课程是关于制定和回答这20个问题的。 本课程的所有功能均免费提供。完成后不提供证书。
