Contenu de la matière

I. Introduction to Network Engineering
II. Enterprise Network Architecture
Requirement analysis
Three-layer architecture: access layer, distribution layer and network core layer.
Design of secure network architecture: Standards and best practices
Protocol identification and network mapping tool
High availability of services: protocols and mechanisms
Pre-Sales Engineering and Solution Costing
III. Network services engineering for enterprises
Centralisation of identities and authentication with LDAP
DNS service: performance and security recommendations for domain name acquisition.
Enterprise web server design and hardening
TCP or UDP: challenges and evolution of transport layer (QUIC)
IV. Network Layer Engineering
The choices to make: IPv4 or IPv6?
The evolution of the IP protocol :
1. IPv6 addressing
2. Neighbourhood Discovery Mechanism
3. SLAAC and DHCPv6 mechanism
4. Migration from IPv4 to IPv6 (Dual Stack, Tunneling, Translation)
SDN approach (Software Defined Networking)
1. Control plan
2. Data plan.
3. Advantage of the SDN approach
Choice of routing protocol :
1. Classification of routing mechanisms: internal and external routing
2. Internal routing: OSPF and EIGRP.
3. External Routing: BGP and Policy Routing.
4. Performance of routing protocols: convergence time and overhead
5. Current internet architecture, IXP (Internet exchange point), Data Center,
Internet Governance, etc.
V. QoS, Multimedia and Network Convergence
Introduction to QoS
The models of the QoS
QoS mechanisms (Shaping, Policing, Queue Management, etc.
ToIP: QoS constraints and protocols (SIP, RTP, RTCP
Video streaming protocols: DASH, RTSP, HTTP3, etc.
