TCP/IP Networks Training Overview Course with Hands-On Exercises (Online, Onsite and Classroom Live)

This TCP/IP Networking Training Overview course provides a comprehensive overview of modern IP-based telecom systems. It covers IP and the Internet, the technologies behind them, their performance goals and limitations, and security issues. Topics such as VoIP, Virtual Private Networks (VPN), Cloud, SONET, and Multi-Protocol Label Switched (MPLS) systems are included.

TCP/IP is the set of protocols at the core of the Internet and next generation networks such as wireless broadband. A solid understanding of TCP/IP protocols and how they work is critical. IP Networking Fundamentals Training gives you the essential knowledge and skills required to plan, set up, configure, support, maintain and troubleshoot TCP/IP-based networks of today and tomorrow.
