This is the third course in a sequence of four that covers the field of telecommunications. Students will study the architecture, implementation and related protocols of the following technologies:
Broadband Technologies:Next generation triple-play technologies including MPLS, Layer 3 Virtual Private Networks, Broadband Network Gateways, and Broadband Remote Access Servers
TCP/IP: OSI reference model, IP protocol, TCP protocol, IP addressing and routing, ARP, and routing protocols
TCP/IP Applications: FTP, TELNET, SMTP, SNMP and the WWW
Video: Video and broadcasting principles are covered. Scanning, synchronizing, video compression, color, analog and digital television are covered.
Goals and Objectives
·To evaluate design options for wide area networks as they pertain to modern triple-play access, transport and applications.
·To compare and contrast current communications protocols and methodologies.
·To develop skills necessary for further study (of a technical nature) in networking technologies such as voice over IP, Internet, and digital television.
·To develop a solid understanding of the TCP/IP protocol suite.
·To understand the principles of video transmission and digital television technology.
