Learn to design high performance switched networks

COURSE BACKGROUND

The rise of IP as a foundation for a universal network raises several issues for both enterprise IT departments and ISPs. One of these issues is how to guarantee that server and network infrastructure will receive the service levels they require to perform adequately across the network. For example, remote server management service might need a way to ensure that a real-time session such as voice or video over IP doesn't look choppy or out of sequence.

This training course is the best way to get up to speed quickly on the convergence of data, voice, video and multimedia networking. It has been designed to give delegates an understanding of the issues associated with Multi Service Networks and the technologies that are used to build modern converged network infrastructures.

SESSION 1: Internetworking Technologies
Bridging, Routing and Switching

Switches and routers have become vital components in today's data networks. The operation of bridges, switches, routers through to layer 3 & 4 switches is explained. Each of these devices, their functionality and the role they will play in Multi Service Networks are described.

Routers are also essential components in the interconnection of LANs and WANs. There are many things to consider when implementing routers and this course addresses these issues. Interconnection options, routing protocols, best effort services, resource reservation, prioritisation schemes and routing efficiency are discussed.

SESSION 2: Multi Service Networking
QOS, VoIP and Network Convergance

The Telecommunications industry is experiencing major changes and adjustments to the way that they have traditionally implemented their network services. Voice, video and data network infrastructures are being integrated into a single converged network. In order to achieve this and still offer the customer the service that they are accustomed to, a range of technologies and protocols have been developed. In this section, these technologies and protocols are explained.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
  • How bridges, routers and switches work
  • Learn about layer 3 and layer 4 switching
  • What quality of service (QOS) is and how it works
  • How to prioritise traffic on your network
  • All about VoIP, the RTP and RTCP
  • The operation and differences between the SIP and H.323 protocols
COURSE BENEFITS
  • Know more about the efficient design of multi service networks
  • Learn to design high performance switched networks
  • How to implement QOS
  • What the technology options available to you to run VoIP applications are
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
  • Anyone who would like a better understanding of multi service networking
  • Network and IT Managers and consultants who need to understand the technology for strategic planning and implementation purposes
  • PC and Network support staff
  • Network Engineers responsible for implementing network products, or trouble shooting a network
  • Experienced network professionals who would like to update their knowledge on the latest networking technologies
IS THIS COURSE FOR YOU?
  1. Have you been in discussions where multi service networking terms and acronyms went straight over your head and you were left at a disadvantage?
  2. Would you like to know the difference between a bridge, switch and router?
  3. Do you want to learn about the technical issues surrounding network convergence, multi service networking, QOS and VoIP?
