NSP Packet Optimization

Course number: OS00106-V-2000
Course duration: 2 days
Price: €1,600

Course overview

This hands-on instructor-led course explores how the NSP Network Resource Controller – Packet (NRC-P) acts as a centralized online computation engine providing intelligent IP/MPLS network control capabilities so that operators can rapidly adapt to changing demand and traffic patterns.  Learn how to configure the Path Computation Element Protocol (PCEP), enabling NRC-P as a Path Computation Element (PCE) containing all the logic to calculate paths through the network.  Discover the many functionalities of the NSP IP/MPLS Optimization application, including applying objectives and constraints to the LSPs in your network.  See how the IP/MPLS Optimization application performs use cases such as implementing path profile override and activating maintenance mode for link sets.  Also, learn how the live network can be imported into the IP/MPLS Simulation application to perform what-if analysis. This course is based on NSP version 23.4.
