Wide Area Networks

The knowledge covered in the following course is considered recommended:

• Introduction to Data Networks

• Switching

• Routing

Theoretical classes:

Presentation and participatory discussion of the topics covered with a focus on critical thinking about the most relevant aspects of current technological responses.
Practical classes:

Analysis of implementation scenarios for the various technologies covered. Use of simulation solution. Parameterization, in a laboratory environment, with physical equipment, of learning scenarios

This course unit is designed to provide the necessary skills in WAN technologies, in relation to physical and link layers of the OSI model. Students should be able to (i) understand standards in the physical wiring, (ii) describe X.25, RDIS and Frame-Relay technologies, (iii) configure HDLC and PPP protocols, (iv) apply NAT/PAT concepts, (v) use virtual local area networks (VLAN), (vi) understand MPLS mechanism, (vii) use multiple frame tagging.
