Carrier Ethernet and Backhaul Technology Overview
[/div]
Australian backhaul infrastructure is undergoing a major rebuild, particularly for mobile services and the NBN. This one day course outlines the underlying Carrier Ethernet, MPLS and GPON technologies.
Who would benefit from this course?
Those in backhaul rollout and NBN related technical roles, both within and outside the telecoms sector. Course participants may include network operators, vendors, Access Seekers, service providers, project managers and engineers.
…a solid one day transmission technology overview
Outline
Over the last decade Carrier Ethernet and has become integral transmission network component. This one day course provides a technical overview of Carrier Ethernet within fixed and mobile network networks, with a key focus on the NBN.
The course begins with an Ethernet review, outlining addressing, VLAN and Class of service mechanisms, 40G and 100G evolution and how MPLS supports Ethernet based services. The Metro Ethernet Forum role is then outlined, along with the key MEF services, and how they interwork with MPLS. Carrier Ethernet for mobile backhaul is then examined, focusing on synchronization and QOS requirements. The course concludes with a GPON overview, focusing on NBN service provision, including multicast.
