Unit description
Provides students an in-depth understanding of Wide Area Network (WAN) technologies including links and routing. Students will gain knowledge and skills by analysing major routing and link protocols, and by prototyping and configuring high performance and high redundancy network routing in an industry-standard simulation environment. Students will also learn to troubleshoot typical routing issues.
