Computer Networking: Packets to Protocols

A university-level networking course modelled after Stanford CS144, MIT 6.829, and Princeton COS461. Build a complete mental model of how the Internet works — from electrical signals on a wire up through HTTP/3, TLS, and modern cloud networking. One of the most enrolled topics on Coursera; this version goes deeper with hands-on Wireshark labs and CLI exercises.
