The "nets" mailing list is mandatory. The TAs and I will send important announcements about the class to that list, but only the three of us will send to the list. The "nets-chat" mailing list is highly recommended, all students can post there and it's a good place for discussion, questions your classmates might be able to answer, news related to computer networking, etc. Do NOT put the "nets" mailing list in digest mode when you sign up. Here are links to join the mailing lists for the class:

All course materials will be freely available online, such as RFCs.
