Overview
This week we will continue our study of computer networking by learning about the Domain Name System (DNS) and the Transport Layer.
During class we will finish presenting our microcontroller projects.
Friday, March 3rd
Classwork
We will begin class by talking about plans for next Tuesday, March 7th, since I will not be here.
We will then see the last three (Groups D, E, and F) presentions of our microcontroller projects.
Finally, we will take our bonus It's all just bits!
game quiz.
If you finish early, you can begin your homework. You may also be interested in seeing Traceroute, which confirms that Dr. Chuck was on target in his explaination of how traceroute works (we never doubted him, of course ;-)
Homework
Read Chapter 7: Application Layer, from our networking text. Add notes
for this chapter to the Intro2networkingNotes.md file in
your git repo.

then complete several practice questions in preperation for the It's all
