Learn to design high performance switched networks
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.
- 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
- 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
- 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
- Have you been in discussions where multi service networking
terms and acronyms went straight over your head and you were left
at a disadvantage?
- Would you like to know the difference between a bridge, switch
and router?
- Do you want to learn about the technical issues surrounding
network convergence, multi service networking, QOS and VoIP?
