From Networld + Interop: planner.interop.com IP and ATM - from TDM to MPLS T126 Thursday-Friday, September 16-17 ? 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM Location: Omni Hotel Instructor: Dr. Douglas E. Comer Purdue University Instructor: Mark Laubach Overview: ATM and IP have emerged as two important networking technologies both for building traditional and converged networks that combine voice, video, and data and also as the source of ideas for new systems such as tag switching and MPLS. Finding the proper combination of the two is the biggest challenge facing many corporate network designers. This course presents a short overview of TDM, IP and ATM technologies, compares and contrasts their strengths and weaknesses, and explains the various ways IP and ATM can be integrated. ATM is discussed as both a conceptual model for internetworking and as a practical short-term approach that uses standards specified by the ITU, ATM forum, IETF, and other standards bodies. IP is currently the defining technology for internetworking and the global Internet. The course presents combinations of IP and ATM, considers tradeoffs among them, and shows situations in which each is appropriate. The course also looks to the future to predict how the two will work with optical networking technologies and MPLS, and interactions with SONET, IPv6, gigabet ethernet, and other technologies. Syllabus: Review and comparison of TDM, IP and ATM fundamentals Integration Concepts: IP encapsulation, bridging, LAN emulation, MPOA, classical IP over ATM IP switching & MPLS Results from the field: reports of major and leading-edge deployments Predictions for the future: what to expect Who should attend: Network administrators and engineers contemplating the use of IP and ATM technologies separately or together Engineers considering ways of enhancing LAN and backbone network performance through the use of emerging ATM, gigabit rethernet, and MPLS products Network engineers interested in the using next generation technologies to implement networks with multiple service levels Anyone interested in understanding the basic relationship between ATM and IP Textbook Provided: Internetworking with TCP/IP (Vol. 1): Principles, Protocols and Architecture, 3rd Edition, Douglas E. Comer, Prentice Hall, 1995. >>>>>> Note to Mark: If you get a chance, introduce yourself to Ross Callon from Ironbridge. I'd love to have your thoughts on what he's doing in the terabit router space.
