Core GATE CSE Subjects 24 topics Moderate to high

Computer Networks

GATE CSE Computer Networks — OSI/TCP-IP, IP addressing, routing, TCP/UDP, and application protocols.

Learning outcomes

  • Place protocols on OSI/TCP-IP layers
  • Subnet and compute usable hosts
  • Explain stop-and-wait versus sliding window
  • Answer basic DNS/HTTP/TCP handshake items

Overview

Computer Networks in GATE is layered: addressing, routing tables, reliable transfer, and a few application protocols.

Numerical items on subnetting, sliding windows, and CRC are common.
