Protocol Training: 624 - SIP Training Course - Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)

2011-10-21T16:35:13-04:00

TONEX SIP training course provides an overview of SIP, its components, and how it works. It covers data networking principles to telco engineers and signaling principles to IP engineers. It also outlines SIP implementations on the market in the form of single-line gateways, proxy servers, media gateways, Java toolkits, encoders/decoders and session authenticators.

SIP, the Session Initiation Protocol, is a signaling protocol for conferencing, telephony, presence, events notification and instant messaging.

It is an application-layer control (signaling) protocol for creating, modifying and terminating sessions with one or more participants. These sessions include Internet multimedia conferences, Internet telephone calls and multimedia distribution. Members in a session can communicate via multicast or via a mesh of unicast relations, or a combination of these. Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) builds on the IP communications foundation by providing a standards-based approach to enabling IP communications with numerous devices and applications.

SIP invitations used to create sessions carry session descriptions which allow participants to agree on a set of compatible media types. SIP supports user mobility by proxying and redirecting requests to the user's current location. Users can register their current location. SIP is not tied to any particular conference control protocol. SIP is designed to be independent of the lower-layer transport protocol and can be extended with additional capabilities. Session controllers promise to enable the same ubiquity, quality, and security for VoIP that the PSTN offers today, only in the more flexible, efficient, and economical manner that IP makes possible.

MPLS and VPLS Training: 618 - MPLS Training Course - Multi-Protocol Label Switching Training

2011-10-24T18:56:58-04:00

TONEX MPLS (Multi-Protocol Label Switching) training provides an in-depth overview of MPLS technology, including MPLS theory and configuration, MPLS design issues, operations, troubleshooting, VPN, Traffic Engineering (TE) and GMPLS (Generalized MPLS).

In an MPLS network, incoming packets are assigned a "label" by a "label edge router (LER)". Packets are forwarded along a "label switch path (LSP)" where each "label switch router (LSR)" makes forwarding decisions based solely on the contents of the label. At each hop, the LSR strips off the existing label and applies a new label which tells the next hop how to forward the packet.

Label Switch Paths (LSPs) are established by network operators for a variety of purposes, such as to guarantee a certain level of performance, to route around network congestion, or to create IP tunnels for network-based virtual private networks. In many ways, LSPs are no different than circuit-switched paths in ATM or Frame Relay networks, except that they are not dependent on a particular Layer 2 technology.

An LSP can be established that crosses multiple Layer 2 transports such as ATM, Frame Relay or Ethernet. Thus, one of the true promises of MPLS is the ability to create end-to-end circuits, with specific performance characteristics, across any type of transport medium, eliminating the need for overlay networks or Layer 2 only control mechanisms

Multi Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) is one of the central elements of next generation networks. It provides an IP-compatible, QoS-capable infrastructure that enables the convergence of voice, IP, ATM, Ethernet, and Frame Relay onto the same backbone network. MPLS can combine the intelligence and salability of routing with the reliability and manageability of traditional carrier networks. It is the key to scalable virtual private networks (VPNs) and end-to-end quality of service (QoS).

Objectives:

List the features, functions and benefits of MPLS
Identify suitable applications for MPLS
Describe the underlying concepts of MPLS
Describe the frame-mode MPLS and cell-mode MPLS
Describe the concept of MPLS labels, label stack and different label formats

Generalized Multi-Protocol Label Switching (GMPLS) is an emerging technology which helps in sustaining carrier profitability by reducing the operator expenses while supporting a variety of network topologies.

Generalized MPLS (GMPLS) is an extension of the existing MPLS that supports TDM, wavelength and spatial switching. GMPLS extends MPLS to provide the control plane (signaling and routing) for devices that switch in any of these domains: packet, time, wavelength, and fiber. This common control plane promises to simplify network operation and management by automating end-to-end provisioning of connections, managing network resources, and providing the level of QoS that is expected in the new, sophisticated applications.

TONEX VPLS training course is a combination of knowledge training, case studies, examples, and systems analysis revealing the details of VPLS in a swift, comprehensive, and understandable way.

A Virtual Private LAN Service (VPLS) network is a Layer 2 multipoint VPN that emulates LAN services across a WAN. VPLS enables service providers to interconnect several customer sites (each being a LAN segment) over a packet-switched network, effectively making all the customer LAN segments behave as one single LAN. With VPLS, no routing interaction occurs between the customer and service provider, and the customer can run any type of Layer 3 protocol between sites.

VPLS can utilize Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) to offermultipointEthernetconnectivity over a mesh of logical circuits or tunnels, with the added benefits of Traffic Engineering (TE), resilience, and failover. VPLS enables carriers and SPs to offer managed Ethernet VPN services easily and cost effectively.
