Networking Training course outline

		Course Objectives   Networking is taking an evolutionary path that will allow voice and video - real time services - to successfully exist with data on the same network.  This will allow new ways for organizations to effectively communicate with increased productivity, flexibility, and lower cost. It will also give networking product developers, telecom product developers, and service providers’ new opportunities to expand their offerings for greater revenue.

Target Audience      Telecom professionals interested in providing new services and products for the data/tele convergence market. Data and networking professionals that want to reduce network costs by converging voice, video, and data over their internet/intranet.

Prerequisites    An awareness of LANs-Local area networks, WANs-wide area networks and an understanding of TCP/IP.

Students Will Learn
• Understand the components necessary for successful voice over IP.
• Become aware of the economics driving voice and fax over IP.
• Compare priority mechanisms like 802.1x and newly evolved ones for IP.
• Compare data priority mechanisms to ATM.
• Become aware of router performance and its affect on voice and video.
• Understand how IP (Internet Protocol) carries a VoIP packet
• The essentials of signaling and when to use SIP, MEGACO, H.323, or MGCP
• The importance of QoS (jitter, packet delay, packet loss)
• Compare IP, ATM, and Frame Relay voice/data networks
• Security issues to consider when setting up your VoIP    and much more...
