Umm, I teach at a well known East Coast school that name starts with a "D". First night of the Internetworks - TCP/IP class I do this in the second 90 min part of the lecture. There is a ton of stuff from ARP resolves, DNS, BGP connections, NAT at your local router, HTTP request / responses, etc. While I'm an EE and can do the electron level BS, there is more than enough to cover on the software side.

Take away from the first night are: Open protocols are good Many hands (software layers) make light work It is just amazing that it works at all... :)

Lots of lectures / labs, including learning how to use Wireshark and ripping apart protocols.

The penultimate class is us reproducing that lecture with what they've learned. I think I resent the Blab school remark. They don't parrot back but they understand the parts.

And we still think it's amazing it works at all.
