"virtual class" activities

Listen to a lecture

Listen to this online lecture about  the arp (address resolution) protocol. It requires a browser with Flash plug-in and is about 30MB. If your connection is too slow, you can use the school computer lab provided you bring a set of standard headphones or earplugs to listen to the narration.
