Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c43938) has announced the addition of E-Learning Course: IP Networks and the Internet to their offering.
"IP Networks and the Internet" describes the principles of operation of networks based on the use of the Internet Protocol (IP) and the structure and operation of the Internet. Topics covered include the use of IP, IP addressing, UDP, TCP, port numbers and route discovery protocols inc. RIP OSPFand BGP.
Course aim: This course describes the features, facilities, structure and basic operation of networks using the Internet suite of protocols.
Pre-requisites: Understanding of the basic principles of packet switching and connectionless operation. It is recommended that TransNet course A -- Principles of
Wide Area Networks -- is studied before attempting this course.
"IP Networks and the Internet" forms part of the TransNet series of courses.
TransNet - is a suite of interactive, multimedia e-learning courses designed to run under Windows(TM) 98, 2000 Professional or XP. - provides training in the technical aspects of Wide Area Networks and data services. - consists of eight separate but integrated courses: Target audience: TransNet is designed for: - Those studying for a career in telecommunications and who require a detailed knowledge of modern Wide Area Networks and data services. - Technical staff involved in the operation, design or maintenance of Wide Area Networks.
Course Content Introducing the Internet: Topology of the Internet roles of Internet administrative bodies role of network and service providers facilities offered by Internet Service Providers (ISPs).
IP addressing: IPv4 address classes addressable subnets subnet masks IPv6 address format.
Domain Name System (DNS): use and structure of Uniform Resource Locators (URLs) hierarchical structure of domain names name allocation administration the use of name servers.
The Internet Protocol (IP): Review of the Internet suite of protocols and the relationship of IP to the OSI Reference Model connectionless operation of IP function of the various IPv4 and IPv6 packet header fields advantages of IPv6.
RIP route discovery: Principles of routing over a connectionless network operation of the distance vector, route discovery Routing Information Protocol (RIP) building a routing table causes and effects of "counting to infinity".
OSPF route discovery: Advantages of the dynamic route discovery protocol, OSPF, over a distance vector protocol such as RIP building a topological database and a routing table using OSPF benefits of dividing a network into areas.
BGP and EGP route discovery: Operation and role of the Exterior Gateway Protocol (EGP) operation and role of the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) advantages of BGP over EGP.
Other Internet protocols: The use of the Point to Point Protocol (PPP) on serial links, role of the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) setting up a TCP session demonstration of TCP flow control, relevance and use of TCP port numbers use of the User Datagram Protocol (UDP) review of application layer protocols including FTP and SMTP.
Reviews of the Courses:
"The advantage of the e-learning formula for the introduction training was that at the end of the e-learning courses all participants in the "advanced" module had the same level of knowledge. This was greatly appreciated by the participants"
- Gino Van de Sompel, training and development consultant at Belgacom
"As a communications service provider based "off shore" we have found that the e-learning courses provide high quality and excellent content training to our engineers without the need to arrange expensive flights out of the island truly cost effective"
- Bill Barker, training and development manager, Jersey Telecom
