Recommendations to Study the E-Learning Course: Principles of Wide Area Networks to Prepare for More Courses in the Transnet Suite.DUBLIN, Ireland -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c39104) has announced the addition of E-Learning Course: Principles of Wide Area Networks to their offering. "Introduction to Wide Area Networks (WANs)" provides an introduction to the underlying concepts of WANs. It is recommended that this course is studied to prepare for the other courses in the TransNet suite. Topics covered include the principles of packet switching and time division mulitplexing. Course aim: This course provides an introduction to the fundamental concepts that underpin the operation of modern Wide Area Networks. Pre-requisites: Secondary (high) school education in Physics; In the UK appropriate pre-requisite qualifications are General Certificate of Secondary Education Noun 1. General Certificate of Secondary Education - the basic level of a subject taken in school GCSE, O level England - a division of the United Kingdom (GCSE GCSE 1. (in Britain) General Certificate of Secondary Education; an examination in specified subjects which replaced the GCE O level and CSE 2. Informal a pass in a GCSE examination Noun 1. ) in Physics or BTEC BTEC Business and Technology Education Council (UK) BTEC Biomanufacturing Training and Education Center (Raleigh, NC) BTEC Business Transformation Executive Committee National Vocational Qualification National Vocational Qualifications (NVQs) are vocational awards in England & Wales (In Scotland they are known as Scottish Vocational Qualification (SVQ)) that are achieved through assessment and training. They are practical qualifications based on being able to do a job. (NVQ NVQ n abbr (BRIT) (= national vocational qualification) → título de formación profesional NVQ n abbr (= National Vocational Qualification) → ) at level 2 in Electronics. "Introduction to Wide Area Networks (WANs)" 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. For details of other courses in the TransNet suite, please search our website. Course Content Asynchronous Refers to events that are not synchronized, or coordinated, in time. The following are considered asynchronous operations. The interval between transmitting A and B is not the same as between B and C. The ability to initiate a transmission at either end. and synchronous transmission: Principles and comparison transport of asynchronously generated packets over synchronous networks. TDM (Time Division Multiplexing) A technology that transmits multiple signals simultaneously over a single transmission path. Each lower-speed signal is time sliced into one high-speed transmission. and time switching: Principles of Time Division Multiplexing (communications) time division multiplexing - (TDM) A type of multiplexing where two or more channels of information are transmitted over the same link by allocating a different time interval ("slot" or "slice") for the transmission of each channel. I.e. (TDM) Function of a primary multiplexer 2 Mbit/s frame structure SDH (Synchronous Digital Hierarchy) The European counterpart to SONET. See SONET. SDH - Synchronous Digital Hierarchy aggregate bit rates and payload capabilities Principles of time switching Concept and use of time slot interchange. Packet switching: Principles of packet switching and address multiplexing Statistical multiplexing gain Congestion The condition of a network when there is not enough bandwidth to support the current traffic load. congestion - When the offered load of a data communication path exceeds the capacity. and its causes Avoiding congestion Advantages of address multiplexing over TDM. OSI protocol layers: Role and structure of OSI Reference Model OSI Reference Model - Open Systems Interconnect Peer to peer protocol communications Interaction between different protocol layers Signalling and management plane of OSIRM OSIRM Open Systems Interconnection Reference Model OSIRM Osi Reference Model . Connection types: Features and applications of leased lines Features and applications of circuit-switched connections Introduction to signalling Principles of connection oriented packet switching Features of permanent and switched virtual circuits Role and basic types of flow control Principles of connectionless packet switching. Route discovery: The role of addressing, route discovery and signalling Hierarchical addressing Network areas The role of routing tables Introduction to distance vector and link state route discovery. Multimedia traffic: Multimedia traffic sources Requirements for a broadband multimedia WAN The causes and effects of network impairments including delay, delay variation and errors. Review: Real world training for eircom "Three factors led us to select e-learning: the courses use European jargon and bit rates, they are obviously written by telecoms professionals with real world insight and the interactions are well thought out" - Richard Downey, e-learning manager, eircom plc For more information visit http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c39104 |
