DWDM, MPLS and IPv6—Detailed and comprehensive analyses of the next generation of IP

Our five day class will be divided between three topics - DWDM, MPLS and IPv6. We'll spend the first day discussing optical communications for high-speed voice and data communications. The session will start off with a description of the types of fiber, capacities and the use in the various carrier communities. From there we will discuss the use of the optical multiplexing systems using the SONET protocols, the capacities, the multiplexing techniques and the link architectures. We will also look at the OAM&P side of the SONET specification for use in the carrier networks. Next we will contrast the SDH differences. We will discuss the use of Dense Wave Division Multiplexing to achieve the terabits per second speeds that everyone is talking about. How do we use multiple waves of light to achieve the multiplexing needs for today and tomorrow?
We'll then dissect the use of the MPLS over the network. MPLS the multiprotocol label system will pave the way for new connectivity as we move away from the connection oriented protocols like X.25, Frame Relay and dedicated leased lines. Instead MPLS assists us in getting the “any to any” connectivity for the future without the physical leased line or the dedicated PVCs of the past. Join us for this informative and detailed session that will look at all components and services of the newest form of layer 2 switching.
The final day will cover next step in dealing with the pros and cons of IPv6. Despite the industry’s lack of enthusiasm, the need for a replacement for IPv4 (which is 22 years old) creates new opportunities to expand our data and voice networking needs into the next dimension. We will look at the protocols, addressing, interoperability and the components that IPv6 brings about. Preserving the older network protocols also brings about the understanding necessary on how “islands of IPv6 and IPv4” can coexist.
