IP in Modern Networks

  • Course Name: IP in Modern Networks
  • Duration: 2 days
  • Technical Level: 2

Overview

This 2-day training course gives a clear understanding of IP technology and its use in modern data / telecommunication networks. The requirements for an effective IP Network are explored, followed by a detailed analysis of existing and emerging technologies and systems. The use of IP in both fixed and mobile networks (including GPRS and UMTS), IP applications, addressing, routing, Quality of Service, security, AAA and VoIP are all explained.

Concentrating primarily on the core network (elements, architecture, protocols and operation), access techniques are also examined in order to give the delegate a good overall view of the converging world of modern communications and the supporting technology. Demonstrations are used where appropriate to illustrate concepts and operation.

Course Objectives

  • Identify five major requirements for an effective IP network
  • Describe the use of three different IP Addressing mechanisms that support different connection scenarios
  • Follow an analyse a route through an IP network
  • List the capabilities, and therefore differentiate between Routers, Bridges, Repeaters, and Hubs
  • Diagrammatically represent the “TCP/IP” protocol stack, showing the various options at both the upper and lower layers
  • Describe the basic use of IP Datagram fields / parameters
  • List three main differences between the TCP and UDP protocols, and identify three scenarios where each is used
  • Identify the key differences between IP Version 4 and IP Version 6
  • Discuss, with confidence, the types of Applications that may be provided using IP technologies - and the associated Regulatory considerations
  • Identify three mechanisms for controlling the quality of services for specific applications
  • Construct a table listing advantages and disadvantages of various underlying transport networks, including Ethernet, ATM, Frame Relay, SDH, PDH
  • Differentiate between Dial-Up Connections, Leased Line, and Virtual Private Networks
  • List potential Security Risks in an IP network, and identify the steps that may be taken to minimise them
  • Identify scenarios where standard AAA (Authentication, Authorisation, and Accounting) techniques may / should be used to facilitate a data service
  • Identify four distinct access technologies capable of carrying IP traffic, and explain the significance of techniques such as Mobile IP to enhancing mobility
