Berkeley computer science networking Prelim reading list (Spring’10)

1 Comment

Somehow I never managed to upload the reading list after I finished my Prelim. Here it is finally, or they are – too many of them (not my fault).

This zipped file contains reading lists for the grad networking/network security courses from different years along with the grandfather of all reading lists for networking prelim compiled a decade ago. I didn’t read all of them, but most of them are good/great papers anyway.

All credits to Sara and Sameer for prodding me to put the files together. Best of luck to them!

Update: I’ve finally uploaded the reading list. Here it is!

Took the networking Prelim last Thursday and passed. I was a never fan of oral interrogations; heck, I am not a fan of any interrogation for that matter. And this one was really a close call; I am just happy to reach alive at the other end of the tunnel. What a relief! Thanks to everyone, specially Ganesh and Matei, who helped me prepare with mock Prelims and everything else.

I will have the (unofficial) reading list for this Prelim in a future post.

On another note, do watch Rosemary’s Baby to find out where the title of this post originated from. Believe it or not, I had this post in mind since I heard Rosemary saying “Pain, begone, I will have no more thee!”It feels great to be able to use it finally!
