Welcome to IP Networking (e)

As the wireless industry transitions to 3G wireless networks supporting higher data rate packet data services, a solid understanding of IP networking is as essential as a dial tone is to a wireline telephone. A fundamental knowledge of IP Networking is a MUST for all wireless professionals. This course provides an introduction to IP networking and its use in wireless networks. It begins with an introduction to IP networking services such as the web, email and VPN to illustrate the value and ubiquitousness of IP networks. The IP network architecture, the functions provided by various components and the role of key protocols are then described. This course provides a brief introduction to IPv6 features and its interworking with IPv4, and concludes with a discussion of how GPRS/UMTS and 1x/1xEV networks take advantage of IP networks.
