Guys and Gals,
Next semester in NBU I will teach MPLS core networks. Unfortunately NGN Access Networks will be discontinued from the program. Anyway this will give me a bit more time to deal with the 4TO6TRANS project instead of teaching two subjects. So in MPLS core networks we will go through:
- ISP Network Architecture
- VPN basics
- MPLS basics and principles
- Data and Control Plains
- IGP protocols in Service Provider Backbone (ISIS, OSPF)
- Tunning of these two protocols in order to achieve high speed convergence (BFD, timers, Djikstra tree generation optimization)
- L2VPN services e.g Carrier Ethernet ( Pseudowires, VPLS)
- L3 VPN services (Basics, Provider – Customer Routing in L3 VPN)
- QoS theory and practice
- Traffic Engineering
If we have some time I will also try to cover:
- BGP – Transit Autonomous Systems
- Implementing IPv6 in Service Provider Core
- Achieving IPv6 based ISP Services
- Multicast
Cheers,
Nikolay
