TCP/IP Advanced Topics

LENGTH OF COURSE:
3-5 Days

DESCRIPTION: This course provides an in-depth understanding of TCP/IP internals and data structures. Students will have a clear understanding of why TCP/IP provides the highest degree of interoperability, encompasses the widest set of vendor systems and runs over more network technologies than any other protocol. It is essential that an organization incorporate TCP/IP as a component of its network strategy.
An example of a TCP/IP implementation is presented for discussion.

PREREQUISITES: Understanding of basic TCP/IP concepts.

INSTRUCTION TECHNIQUES: A combination of Lecture, Demonstrations, and Hands-On Labs (when/where available).
