QOS school training courses in Colchester, VT (public, in-house or online)

MPLS and QoS technologies can potentially reduce the operational costs of running a network by increasing staff and network productivity and generating new sources of revenue and customer loyalty through new products and services.
This applications-focused, hands-on workshop enables participants to understand and deploy these technologies in an exciting lab environment. Over five days, participants deploy MPLS for traffic engineering, MPLS-based VPNs, and scalable QoS techniques that MPLS ena...

This course explores the Quality of Service requirements for voice and data services supported by DSL, and discusses the specific protocols and techniques used to offer QoS transmission to customers. Traffic shaping techniques and how QoS is built into the ATM protocol are described. The course also presents an example of Voice over DSL.

This describes Frame Relay, ATM, and MPLS, including their advantages and how they use virtual circuits. The rate at which ATM and Frame Relay support customer traffic, and how carriers police those rates, is presented. ATM’s specific QoS parameters, is also described.

WAN Data Link Protocols
ATM Protocol and QoS
MPLS Protocol

This course describes the QoS capabilities that are available from standard IP routing protocols and from the IP packet header, as well as how information in the IP version 4 and version 6 headers can be used by routers to affect the QoS of individual IP packets. A comparison is provided regarding which decisions are made in three standard routing protocols: RIP, OSPF, and BGP as well as describing a framework for building more QoS capabilities into routing protocols.

This course describes the major methods of managing network queues in order to provide QoS for customer traffic. Overcoming deficiencies of First-In-First-Out (FIFO) using multipriority queuing and Weighted Fair Queuing (WFQ) are explained and the benefits of dropping packets from queues before they are full using Random Early Detection (RED), and Weighted Random Early Detection (WRED) are analyzed.
