A two-day seminar dealing with the myriad protocols making up Authentication, Authorization and Accounting: Focusing on the common protocols and implementations of Active Directory (LDAP/Kerberos), NIS, RADIUS, Diameter, as well as legacy methods likely to be supported in various enterprise deployments. A primer on encryption is discussed as well, along with packet level dumps and analyses.

In-depth detail is provided down to the packet level with live captures using the WireShark sniffer. Each protocol is examined from both its perfomance and security aspects. Meant as a followup to the "Network Protocols" course, this further explores the OSI model, moving from the network and transport layers - to the application layer.

This seminar discusses IPv6 in depth, providing students with hands-on experience of IPv6 through a special lab setup and exercises. Implementations of IPv6 and ICMPv6 on common operating systems such as Windows, Linux and MacOS are shown. Optionally, the course goes on to discuss the security framework of IPSec.

See exampleThis course discusses the TCP/IP protocol stack - the driving force behind the Internet. Detailed discussions of layer II protocols (primarily Ethernet), the Internet Protocol (IPv4 and IPv6), Internet Control Messaging Protocol (ICMP), and the routing protocols RIPv2 and OSPF. This course also touches on advanced aspects of networking, such as QoS (Quality of Service) and Multicasting. In essence, this course is a journey up the OSI model - focusing on the Data Link, Network, and Transport layers. Detailed examples with a network analyzer (WireShark) provide students with a comprehensive view of all networking concepts, both basic and advanced. Additional hands on exercises allow the students to get a direct exposure to what goes on in the wire and air.
Click here for detailed syllabusThis course introduces the myriad protocols used to convey voice and video over the Internet Protocol. It explains both the legacy H.323 protocol stack and the SIP standard, as well as the RTP protocol common to both. This course also discusses SCCP ("Skinny"), a proprietary protocol used in legacy Cisco IP telephony. Students obtain hands-on experience using custom H.323 and SIP capable software.
