Course Title
MPLS: Emerging Applications
- Aimed At
-
Those with a technical background and familiarity with data networking concepts and with MPLS who wish to acquire a more detailed knowledge of MPLS’s capabilities and future direction. This course is suitable for technical professionals who design and implement MPLS networks.
- Prerequisites
-
You should have some prior familiarity with data networking concepts and TCP/IP. An understanding of Frame Relay, ATM, and TDM is helpful.
- Course in a Nutshell
-
This course provides a high-level review of Multi Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) basics followed by a detailed discussion of some of the up-and-coming features of MPLS such as circuit emulation, Multicast applications, scalability enhancements, and OAM features.
- Customize It!
-
We will be pleased to customize this course to your specific needs, usually at little-to-no additional cost, by adding or omitting topics, increasing or decreasing the level of detail, or making other changes as requested. Those who need a detailed technical treatment of the subject should consider our longer MPLS course listed under Related Courses.
