Understanding Networking 1 
Production year 1999. Length 96 minutes. VHS-NTSC format. 66-page 8.5" x 11" softcover bound workbook.

In this video, we provide a concise, focused understanding of routers and networking, concentrating on solutions for enterprises using commercial datacom services to build Wide Area Networks (WANs). The first topic is private networks, composed of routers connecting dedicated lines like T1s.  We'll review traffic that can be carried, then examine what functions routers perform.  We'll also cover the important topic of IP addresses, IP address classes, and how IP addresses are assigned and used on a private network. Then we'll turn to bandwidth on demand or "packet-switched" services and Virtual Circuits, which are an improvement on dedicated lines. You'll receive a comprehensive overview of the jargon, buzzwords and technologies, including X.25, Frame Relay and ATM, including a case study of a enterprise solution using TCP/IP over Frame Relay.

This video provides you with current, solid knowledge of what routers do, IP addressing, networks and carriers' bandwidth-on-demand services like Frame Relay and ATM: mainstream solutions for business Wide Area Networks.
