The Transmission
Control and Internet
Protocols have,
from the beginning,
been the core
elements of the
burgeoning Internet
with its many
components. We
emphasize the
"Internet
Architecture"
term here to encourage
thinking beyond
the more limiting
"TCP/IP"
origins of this
subject. This
broader view recognizes
the many elements
that comprise
this dynamic,
developing field.
This portfolio
of courses deals
mainly with the
upper five layers
of the Open Systems
Interconnection
model of networking.
The two lowest
layers of this
OSI model are
typically implemented
in hardware --
the primary scope
of our series
on Network
Infrastructure
Technology.
An intensive entry-level
course emphasizing
the basic concepts
of TCP/IP-based
networking. The
program requires
no prior knowledge
of the subject,
although students
should have a
background that
includes familiarity
with basic computing
and networking
principles.
This workshop-style
course substantially
expands on the
material covered
in the preceding
course, offering
an intensive program
that embraces
the full scope
of the subject,
along with effective
workshop and problem
solving segments.
This course is
designed to fill
a new requirement
to provide networking
professionals
with essential
knowledge of the
new and emerging
IP standards defining
the shape and
character of the
future Internet.
There are specific
security issues
and concerns associated
with the new version
of IP, and its
associated network
architecture.
This course is
designed to identify
areas of vulnerability,
demonstrate possible
solutions and
provide solid
best practices
recommendations
to these problem
areas.
