TDC 375-701 Lecture Notes 3

I. Questions, Review, Homework
   A. Brief introduction to MPLS and the instructor's general
      thoughts on it.  Its very common in large networks, particularly
      large ISPs/telcos largely for "traffice engineering" reasons.
      We spent a few minutes talking about why this is and why that
      might matter to "engineer" traffic.  This instructor does not
      have much practical MPLS experience, but at least one person
      expressed interest in having a guest speaker come in and talk
      about it.
   B. Talked some about jargon (i.e. how to pronounce certain buzzwords).
II. Guest Speaker, Robert Vance, Northwestern University
    Building a new University network in Qatar
III. The Internet Protocol (IP)
IV. Layer 3 (random thoughts)
V. The Real World, Traceroute and traceiface

NOTE: did not have much time to go over the worksheet this time.
