WA Computer Science ATAR Year 11: Network topologies and design
Students learn network topologies, the factors that shape network design, wired versus wireless trade-offs, scalability and redundancy, and how to design and simulate a network from requirements.
One content description from the full WA Computer Science ATAR Year 11 — Network Communications journey. All 13 modules below are in that journey too, with the same content — add just these to a class, or the whole strand.
