Workshop

(Download Slides)

Synopsis:
This technical workshop is made up of lectures and hands-on lab exercise to teach both basic and advance concept of MPLS, MPLS VPN both L3 & L2, Traffic Engineering Techniques, MPLS network design principles, LDP, BGP as signalling protocol etc. Also presented for understanding and to encourage best industry practice.

The course includes considerable practical work based on IPv4 as well as IPv6 and router configuration commands.

Target Audience:
Mid or high label technical staff of and ISP or enterprise who are involve in day-to-day network operation function.

Pre-requisites:
It is assumed that participants have a clear understanding of network operations, Internet technologies, OSI reference model, TCP/IP, OSPF/IS-IS. They must be fluent in BGP, and/or encouraged to complete one of APNIC/APRICOT/SANOG/bdNOG BGP Workshops, BGP routing protocol and router operating software (i.e Cisco IOS etc).
