Advanced Internet Topics - Lecture Notes

Elliot Schwartz <elliot@mit.edu>

The following are slides and notes that I prepared for an Advanced Internet Topics class I co-taught at MIT in 1997 and 1998 with John Hawkinson. Each topic lasted one hour, and the entire class was 9 hours, spread over three consecutive evenings. The 1998 class featured slides in HTML, with illustrations, and an accompanying set of more descriptive notes. The 1997 class has PowerPoint slides in 6-to-a-page PostScript files, and some accompanying diagrams, illustrations, and examples.
