IP/MPLS Technology

General

This course will give the students an insight and understanding of the TCP / IP protocol stack from the physical layer to the application layer. The students will learn the operation of different protocols within the TCP / IP suite and MPLS technology.

Contents

• Describe IPv4 and IPv6 protocol, addressing / aggregation
• Describe IPv4 packet structure, protocol header and features
• Describe IPv6 packet structure, protocol header, features and the different types of IPv6 addresses
• Describe the purpose and operation of different protocols such as TCP, UDP, ICMP, HTTP, FTP, TFTP, SMTP, POP3, IMAP, ARP, DNS and DHCP
• Describe the TCP and UDP protocol structures, headers and functionality
• Analysis on the operation of different protocols.
• Describe the purpose and operation of different network devices and routing protocols used in IP networking.
• Describe basic LAN technologies(Ethernet, FDDI , Token Ring)
• IP routing: static , dynamic ,distance-vector algorithm , link-state algorithm, external routing, internal routing
• Basic routing protocols: RIP, OSPF, BGP.
• Explain Physical and Data Link Layer: MAC Address, CSMA/CD principles, Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet
• RSVP.
• The main concepts of MPLS.
• MPLS Labels.
