High-Speed Networks
High-speed networks are the order of the day. The need for speed is the result
of dramatically increasing usage of existing network applications, not to
mention the addition of bandwidth-hungry applications containing voice, graphics
and video. Data traffic has long since eclipsed voice traffic in terms of
volume.
The solution is two-dimensional, having both WAN and LAN components, so this workshop
covers both. We need more bits at a time, and must try to use all the
bits we have. In the WAN sphere, T-carriers provide the bits; frame relay, ATM
and TCP/IP help us use as many of them as possible. In LANs, we have Gigabit
Ethernet and 10G Ethernet, both so rich in bits that economizing them is largely
unnecessary. Digital Subscriber Line is also discussed from an access link
perspective. Understanding each of these technologies and how they work together
is the key to getting out of the bandwidth box.
Owing to the volume of information offered, this workshop runs for 3 days.
Who Should Attend
This is an essential workshop for users, vendors and carriers who currently
work with, or will work with, high-speed technologies. Those professionals who
should attend include: LAN and WAN managers, technical staff, LAN and WAN
administrators, network managers, network consultants, data communications
professionals, telecommunications professionals, network architects, vendor
sales, vendor marketing, and vendor applications staff, strategic and tactical
is planners, carrier employees, and Internet service providers.
Workshop Objectives:
- Gain a working knowledge of the T-carrier system.
- Learn how Frame Relay, the high-speed networking workhorse, works.
- See what TCP/IP does, and discover why it is so pervasive.
- View the big picture: see how applications run atop TCP/IP and how it
rides on Frame Relay which, in turn, rides on T-carriers.
- See where Asynchronous Transfer Mode fits into the mix, and how ATM may
fit into your telecommunications plans.
- Be able to recognize the different forms of DSL and how they can work for
you.
- Understand the capabilities and limitations of Gigabit and 10-Gigabit
Ethernet.
- Understand the principles and practices that guide the successful
implementation of Storage Area Networks.
- Practice your knowledge through in-class exercises.
