TCP/IP is a subject
of increasing
interest to information
systems professionals
involved in, or
interested in
open architecture
interoperability.
The importance
of these topics
has rapidly increased
with the growth
in client-server
systems, and the
need for functional
connectivity between
these kinds of
systems across
wide area networks.
The course has
been designed
to appeal to:
• people
responsible for
managing and/or
administering
TCP/IP LAN, MAN
and Enterprise
networks
• people
responsible for
planning network
facilities and
services -- with
multi-protocol
application demands
• users
of TCP/IP technology:
systems analysts,
operations personnel,
systems programmers,
network facilitators
...
• people
newly appointed
to responsibilities
with networks
that operate the
TCP/IP suite of
protocols
• systems
analysts and programmers
who are anxious
to understand
the network issues
which apply to
open, client/server
networked IT solutions
Students find
that Internetworking
Protocols; TCP/IP
and The Next Generation
provides a comprehensive,
logical introduction
and detailed discussion
of the features
of these two principal
protocols -- and
a number of the
associated protocols,
such as:
• UDP,
which is used
parallel to TCP
in a number of
applications
• Application
layer protocols,
such as Telnet
(interactive terminal
service), File
Transfer Protocol
and Simple Mail
Transfer Protocol
• System
level protocols,
like Gateway-to-Gateway
(router) route
exploration protocols
• Utility
services, like
PING, NFS Mount
and Simple Network
Management Protocol
Students will
receive an introductory
exposure to the
Internet's information
resources, learn
how to navigate
the network, and
access these sources.
The course has
a major focus
objective of developing
and appreciation
of the Next Generation
versions of TCP
and IP -- and
a motivation of
why these changes
are necessary,
how they will
be deployed and
when they will
impact us in the
workplace. Related
to these developments
is the relationship
between TCP/IP
and the OSI standards
-- and the uncertain
future of these
internationally
recognized standards.
The specific
terminology of
this field is
intimidating to
beginners. A priority
objective of this
program is clarification
and interpretation
of terminology.
Internetworking
Protocols; TCP/IP
and The Next Generation
is designed as
a two-day course
-- comprising
approximately
12 hours of instruction.
A permanent,
comprehensive
workbook is included
for each attendee
-- which in addition
to being a work-along
class reference
document contains
a comprehensive
glossary, list
of recommended
reading references
and a cross-referenced
subject index.
Newcomers to the
field of computer
communications
will find an exposure
to Network Solutions:
LANs and LAN Connectivity
(or equivalent)
will be a useful
background to
this program.
