Based on the proposed course timeline as of the end of September this is a start at course level learning outcomes. Currently the major bullet is the expression of the course level learning outcome and the subpoints highlight some of the topics/things I can imagine would be covered or done to achieve the learning outcome.

  
*At the end of the course a student should be able to:*

   * Write and/or modify programs that use the socket API. 

   * Determine key properties (latency, bandwidth, jitter, error rates, topology) about a network and apply the resulting 
information to the design of network based programs.

   * Use standard application structuring techniques to design and implement network based programs.

   * Scaling

   * Sharing

   * Performance
-----



   * Compare and contrast a reliable streamed protocol (like TCP) to an unstreamed unreliable protocol and when given a problem justify the type of protocol to use.




   * Compare and contrast different models for distributing data and when provided with a particular data distribution problem select and justify the choice of an appropriate distribution model.
      * Client/server (? not sure if this is part of this or not)
      * publish/subscribe, data buses

   * Apply various design and implementation strategies to improve the performance of a network based application given the properties of the application and network it is to run on.
      * streaming/chunking
      * parallel operations
      

   * Design(? might be in another learning outcome) and implement/modify programs that use various common networking interfaces.
      * socket API
      * multimedia API
      * error handling
      * lost and out of order packets.
