Gigabit Ethernet for Telecommunications Service Networks

View course dates

Course Duration: 2 day

Course Code: PWL026

Course Description:

The next generation of telecommunications networks will deliver broadband data and multimedia services to users. The Ethernet interface is becoming the interface of preference for user computers, IP Phones, Digital IP Television and network servers within the network itself. The interface has evolved since 1980 from  a simple LAN interface for sharing 10 Mbit/s, though 100 Mbit/s switched LAN interface and to an interface that can also support access lines and transmission tunks at speed from 2 Mbit/s up to 10 Gbit/s. It is inevitable therefore that next generation networks will evolve towards using Gigabit Ethernet for access, trunk and infrastructure connections.
This course will provide a detailed understanding for implementers, designers, managers and infrastructure engineers that need to plan, implement and use the new generation of networks and services.

When you have completed this course you will be able to:
Describe the structure of IEEE 802 standards that define Gigabit Networks
Select the appropriate physical option for typical applications
Compare the efficiency and performance of different encoding options
Interconnect devices taking advantage of auto-negotiation of speed and duplex
Build infrastructures using 802.1d Bridging and switching options
Provide support for VLANs and Quality of service using 802.1p/q
Deliver high bandwidth reliably and effectively using link aggregation
Deploy subscriber access using 802.3ah
Support multicasting and multimedia services
Manage new services using OAM functions
