Here's a list of what is valid material for the midterm (along with relevant textbook sections) L1: Overview
L2: Basic Networking Principles Capacity, bandwidth, sinc pulses: 3.2.2, 3.4.1, 3.5.1 Queues: A.3.1 (although we used a much much shorter derivation of the M/M/1 queue - which we didn’t even refer to as an M/M/1 when discussing queue delay estimation in class) Little’s Formula: A.1.2 (although we just stated Little’s formula and did not derive it, nor will we)
L3: Internet Structure and Addressing IP Addressing: 8.2.2, 8.2.3, 8.2.5 DNS: 2.1.1
L4: Internet Routing and Controls General routing: 7.4 Bellman-Ford (Distance-Vector Routing): 7.5.1 Dijkstra’s (Link-State Routing): 7.5.2 Distance vs. Link: 7.5.4
L5: Internet Application Topology More applied stuff not directly in textbook. Basically discussed how queries can be distributed in server farms, the idea of the cache, leveraging DNS to efficiently deliver content, high-level mechanics of peer-to-peer networks
L6: Protocols, Services, Layers 2.1.1, 2.1.2
L7: OSI Reference Model 2.2
L8: TCP/IP Overview (up to and including slide 13) 2.3, 2.5.3

Midterm will be a combination of short answer written (and maybe draw) questions and quantitative stuff. 6-7 multi-part questions.

You guys seem especially worried about some of the signalling stuff in Lecture 2 and 4 so here are some notes on those topics:
