New E-Learning Course Provides a Grounding in Frame Relay Data Services.DUBLIN, Ireland -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c42974) has announced the addition of E-Learning Course: Frame Relay The FRAD (Frame Relay Access Device) Attachment to a frame relay network is made via a FRAD on the customer's premises, which may be a separate device or software in the router. The FRAD connects to a switch port on the service provider's network via the User-to-Network Interface (UNI). All traffic for one customer generally travels over the same line, which is typically a multiple of 64 Kbps. Frame relay switches interconnect via point-to-point lines or an ATM backbone. Data Services to their offering. "Frame Relay Data Services" describes the protocols and explains the techniques used in networks offering Frame Relay services. Typical Frame Relay service offerings are also described. Course aim: This course provides an introduction to the principles, operation and features of data services conforming to the Frame Relay specifications. Pre-requisites: Understanding of the basic principles of packet switching. It is recommended that TransNet course A - Principles of Wide Area Networks - is studied before attempting this course. "Frame Relay Data Services" forms part of the TransNet series of courses. TransNet -- is a suite of interactive, multimedia e-learning courses designed to run under Windows[TM] 98, 2000 Professional or XP. -- provides training in the technical aspects of Wide Area Networks and data services. -- consists of eight separate but integrated courses: A Principles of Wide Area Networks B X25 data services C Frame Relay data services D Principles of ATM E ATM networks F IP networks G Advanced IP networks inc. voice over IP H DSL services Each TransNet course: -- provides several hours of in-depth, authoritative technical training -- employs interactive simulations, hypertext links and question sessions to fully involve the trainee in the learning experience. -- provides personalised training with each trainee able to make his/her on notes and place bookmarks. A record of progress and level of achievement is recorded for each trainee. -- provides a structured assessed course and can also be used to browse for revision or reference. -- can be studied in isolation or as an integrated suite; each chapter of a course includes revision links to relevant subjects covered in the other TransNet courses. Target audience: TransNet is designed for: -- Those studying for a career in telecommunications and who require a detailed knowledge of modern Wide Area Networks and data services. -- Technical staff involved in the operation, design or maintenance of Wide Area Networks. Course Content: Introduction to Frame Relay: Basic components of a Wide Area Network (WAN) employing Frame Relay access - introduction to the protocols involved in the provision of a Frame Relay network - significance of the virtual circuit parameters CIR and DLCI DLCI - Data Link Connection Identifier DLCI - Data Link Control Identifier DLCI - Digital Loop Carrier Identifier - facilities and benefits of a Frame Relay data service. Congestion control: Causes and effects of congestion - significance of congestion collapse - function of the fields of the frame header - explicit and implicit congestion notification - congestion control measures including the function of the DE, FECN FECN - Ferrocyanic Acid FECN - Forward Explicit Congestion Notification and BECN BECN - Backward Explicit Congestion Notification BECN - Backward Error Correction Notification BECN - Backward Explicit Communications Network bits.

All instructions executing at the machine level require a physical memory, storage or network node address when referencing the actual hardware. Machine addresses are derived using table lookups and/or algorithms. Protocol (InARP InARP - Inverse Address Resolution Protocol (networking, protocol) Inverse Address Resolution Protocol - (InARP) Additions to ARP typically used for Frame Relay. Frame Relay stations route frames of a higher level protocol between LANs, across a Permanent Virtual Circuit. These stations are identified by their Data Link Control Identifier (DLCI), equivalent to an Ethernet address in a LAN itself. InARP allows a station to determine a protocol address (e.g. IP address) from a DLCI.) in conjunction with global addressing - LMI multicasting - function of the fields in an LMI frame. Voice over Frame Relay: Introduction to the techniques used to overcome the limitations of a Frame Relay connection to provide a telephony service over a Frame Relay virtual circuit - the use and benefits of frame fragmentation, voice compression and silence suppression - use of sub-frames A Web browser feature that enables a Web page to be displayed in a separate scrollable window on screen. Older browsers do not support the frames feature, and many Web sites have a frames and non-frames version of the site to accommodate them. to transport several voice and data channels over a single Permanent Virtual Circuit (PVC).
