Big fan of the book referenced by this course, as well as Stevens' TCP/IP books.<p>Him and Doug Comer were the explainers of TCP/IP to a whole generation of network programmers.
So cool to see my school finally get a shoutout on here.<p>Interesting that this in the Babbio building. This building was brand new when I was there and opened in the year that I graduated. This development came with heaps of new (and much needed) student housing. Anyway, the building was almost entirely for the new (and ultimately very successful) business school. All of us CpEs had to take most of our courses in either the very old building across the street or the other, also very old, building on campus.<p>Very happy to see them use the Stevens networking books. They are very good.<p>70% to pass is actually more relaxed than it was when I was there. It used to be 80%. Not like this matters; since this is a graduate level course, these professors gave insane curves to ensure that almost everyone passed.

Damn boy, universities got so hard to pass nowadays, that reject the 70% as 'F' grade?!
