| Online Course L2114:
MPLS and Carrier Networks |
| 15 interactive multipart lessons, multiple-choice exam and certificate. Produced 2012. |
| Carrier Packet Networks • Technologies • MPLS • SLAs • CoS • Integration & Aggregation |
 |
MPLS and Carrier Networks is a comprehensive training course designed to build a solid understanding of carrier packet networks and services, the terminology, technologies, configuration, operation and most importantly, the underlying ideas… in plain English. |
This course can be taken by both those who need simply an overview and introduction to the fundamentals of carrier packet networks and MPLS, and by those who need to get up to speed and establish a solid base that project or job-specific knowledge can be built on. |
We’ll cut through the buzzwords and marketing to demystify carrier packet networks and services, explaining Service Level Agreements, traffic profiles, virtual circuits, QoS, Class of Service, Differentiated Services, integration, convergence and aggregation, MPLS and other network technologies, and how they relate to TCP/IP without bogging down on details. |
| You will gain career- and productivity-enhancing knowledge of the structure, components and operation of carrier packet networks and services, how they are implemented, packaged and marketed by carriers and how they are used by government, business… and other carriers. |

| Prerequisites |
|

| Course Objectives: What You Will Learn
|
|
This course can be taken by both those who need simply an overview and introduction to carrier packet networks and MPLS, and by those who need to build a solid base and get up to speed on all or most of the listed topics. |
If you’re in the first group, the objective is not to become an instant expert, but rather to become familiar with the structure, components and operation of carrier packet networks and services, how they are packaged, marketed and used, and to demystify the jargon and buzzwords, to eliminate frustration and increase your confidence and effectiveness. |
If you’re in the second group, and your objective is to get up to speed on all or most of the listed topics, putting in place a base that project- or job-specific knowledge can be built on, following is a list of concrete objectives. |
|
|
On completion of this course, you will be able to:
|
|
• Explain the components and basic structure of a carrier packet network including core, provider edge, access and customer edge,
|
|
• List three ways carrier packet services are better than dedicated lines or ISDN for wide-area networking,
|
|
• Define a Service Level Agreement, Class of Service and traffic profile,
|
|
• Define a traffic class and explain what a virtual circuit is, and what virtual circuits are used for,
|
|
• Differentiate between a reliable and unreliable Class of Service and what must be done to accommodate the latter, and briefly explain connection-oriented and connectionless communication modes,
|
|
• Explain the fundamentals of Frame Relay: how Frame Relay got its name, how IP is carried over Frame Relay, why TCP is also required, and the traffic profiles supported by Frame Relay,
|
|
• Identify the steps involved in communicating voice in packets, and what transmission characteristics are critical to call quality,
|
|
• Briefly describe the characteristics of ATM and the classes of service it was supposed to implement to support telephone calls,
|
|
• Show how MPLS is essentially the same thing as X.25, Frame Relay and ATM but with different jargon - and identify that jargon, including defining the meaning and purpose of a label, and identifying where the label is placed in the headers,
|
|
• Trace the flow of a message transported by TCP in IP packets over an MPLS network,
|
|
• Identify the benefit of MPLS compared to Frame Relay from the user's point of view,
|
|
• Explain what Differentiated Services are, and how MPLS labels can be used to implement Diff-Serv, and an alternative,
|
|
• Explain how and why MPLS can be used to achieve service integration,
|
|
• Show how MPLS can be used to aggregate traffic,
|
|
• Explain what exactly someone means when they say "MPLS service" and explain why "IP service with a service level agreement" would be a more accurate term, and
|
|
• Identify two differences between MPLS service and Internet service, and the pros and cons of each.
