Advanced Optical Networking Training:

Advanced Optical Networking Training Course (Online, Onsite, and Classroom Live!)

Advanced optical networking training covers transport network evolution, IP/MPLS, GMPLS, MPLS-TP, Seamless MPLS, OTN, and DWDM concepts. Multilayer network designs including IP/MPLS over OTN over DWDM are identified as promising and bridge integration and interaction between the IP and optical layers. In this Advanced Optical Networking Training course, we describe and analyze the impact of each layer’s parameter values on neighboring layers and overall network architecture, performance, and cost
