Introduction:
 
This course provides a high-level review of Multi Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) basics followed by a detailed discussion of some of the up-and-coming features of MPLS such as circuit emulation, Multicast applications, scalability enhancements, and OAM features.
 
Audience:
 
Those with a technical background and familiarity with data networking concepts and with MPLS who wish to acquire a more detailed knowledge of MPLS’s capabilities and future direction. This course is suitable for technical professionals who design and implement MPLS networks.
 
Prerequisites:
 
You should have some prior familiarity with data networking concepts and TCP/IP. An understanding of Frame Relay, ATM, and TDM is helpful.
 
Customize it:
 
This 2-3-day MPLS: Emerging Applications course will be customized to your needs and specifications. Eno.com will assist you in identifying those needs and specifications. A word to the wise, there are many vendors of wireless training. They will typically have a broad and general course, one size fits all, already developed and just put your organization?s name on the title slide. This minimizes their effort and time investment. At Eno.com, every course is made to your exact and exacting specifications. We help you ensure what you are getting is what you really need even if at the beginning you weren't too sure of what that was. We fit the class to your needs. We never fit you into our standard, one size fits all, class.
