Course Format: Classroom | E-learning | Virtual Class | Online | On-site | Blended | Self-paced

Course Description:

'' The objective of this instructor-led course is to present a comprehensive technical introduction to MPLS - Multi-Protocol Label Switching.

The course reviews traditional routing protocols to highlight their limitations and identifies the market drivers of next generation networks. It describes in detail the bandwidth and QoS requirements of VOIP and other real-time applications.

The course identifies the benefits of advanced routing and switching, including support for QoS and CoS, IP/ATM integration, VPN services and efficient traffic engineering.
