Course Objectives
After successfully completing this course, attendees will be
able to:
Describe how and why the TCP/IP protocol
was invented
Define the similarities and the differences
between OSI model and the TCP/IP model
Describe the structure of the Internet
Describe the format of the TCP/IP headers
Describe the functions of the prevalent TCP/IP protocols, ports,
and sockets
Define how multicasting works
Describe how TCP/IP addresses are structured (Unicast, Multicast,
anycast)
Define the concept of subnetting and why it is used (Class A,
B, C, D, E)
Describe the functions of the TCP/IP routing protocols (Link
State, Distance Vector; RIP, IGRP, OSPF, BGP, MPLS, IS-IS)
Describe how Classless InterDomain Routing (CIDR) or supernetting
helps conserve addresses
Describe and plan OSPF, IS-IS, and BGP Autonomous Systems
Describe the functions of IP QoS (DiffServ, RSVP)
Introduction to MPLS
Course Overview
This course provides a basic understanding
of the configuration, communications, and management of TCP/IP and
its associated protocols.
This course introduces students to the main concepts of OSPF and
BGP. The growth of internetworks has put them beyond the scability
limits of distance vector routing protocols such as RIP and IGRP
to the extent that only link state routing protocols such as OSPF
and IS-IS will suffice. Link state protocols are more scalable,
more reliable, and offer faster convergence. All of these features
are becoming essential for the scalable multimedia networks of today.
The course introduces policy-based QoS architecture which supports
infrastructure for delivering QoS based applications and the emerging
trends in IP QoS. It explains the techniques, principles and technology
associated with implementing IP Quality of Service (QoS). The IETF's
Integrated Services standard and accompanying protocols such as
RSVP, RTP and RTCP are described, and how RSVP is used as a QoS
signalling protocol to request a certain QoS is covered. This course
describes the IETF's Differentiated Services standard and how it
can be used to provide QoS on a per-hop basis, and explains how
IntServ and DiffServ are used to provide IP QoS support in routers.
Key Benefits
Students will gain a solid understanding
of TCP/IP with emphasis on use within the telecommunications environment.
Pre-Requisites for Participants
Students should have a basic understanding
of TCP/IP and IP Networking.
Who Should Attend?
This course is designed to address the needs
of the telecommunications industry by introducing its Engineers
with the TCP/IP protocol and the elements within it that will be
utilised within the telecommunications networks deploying VoIP,
IMS, 3GPP, MPLS, and other telecommunications technologies that
is employing the IP protocols.
