Computer Networking: A Top-Down Approach

By Jim Kurose and Keith Ross

Progress

2025-2026

Chapter(pages)	Started - Finished (Time-spent-excl-hw/Total-time) (Days-studied/Total-days) (Daily-time)
Ch. 1 & 2(180p)	NaN - Dec 3 (?) (?) (?)
Ch. 3(122p)	Dec 4 - Dec 11 (7.5h/12h) (6/8) (1.9 1.3 1.4 0 2.8 0 1.4 3.3)
Ch. 4(74p)	Dec 18 - Dec 21 (3h/7.2h) (4/4) (1.2 0.8 2.3 3)
Ch. 5(72p)	Dec 22 - Dec 30 (8.6h/13.6h) (6/9) (0.8 0.8 1.8 0 0 0 2.1 2.1 6) * Homework problems were: distance-vector routing simulator and recreating the ping command. The ping program was surprisingly easy to implement and it was cool to see it work almost the same as the original one. Distance vector alg is straightforward in theory but this simulator took quite some time to implement and figuring out the author’s simulator code was very satisfying :).
Ch. 6(82p)	Jan 8 - Jan 14 (1.8h/6h) (6/7) (0.8 1.4 1.4 0.5 0 0.4 1.4) * Skipped all of the calculation problems with probability and stuff, may come back to them later, but didn’t seem very interesting.
