NSP Multi-Layer Optimization
Course number: OS00110-W
Course duration: 2 hours
Price: €200
Course overview
This eLearning course explores how the NSP’s IP/Optical resource controller interfaces with domain controllers to improve resiliency and service quality through multi-layer network resource control. Learn the many functionalities of NSP’s IP/Optical Coordination function such as multi-layer topology discovery, visualizations and optimizations and how to apply them in practical use cases. Discover how Nokia’s coherent routing solution enables efficient and scalable IP/Optical networks for 400GE and beyond. See how the NSP’s IP/Optical integrated assurance provides network-wide monitoring through tools such as multi-layer visualizations and “one-click” IP/Optical alarm correlations. Also, learn to support network planning and troubleshooting by leveraging NSP’s IP/Optical simulation to perform multi-layer “what-if” analysis.
