As TDM transmission networks continue to be replaced by packet based transport solutions, this course seeks to explain the key technologies involved. Initially, the course will explore the concepts of IPv4 and IPv6, before then focusing on the operation of MPLS (including its key capabilities and features). Carrier Ethernet is also considered, exploring its standardized services and transport options. Finally, real life use cases for PTN are examined, in conjunction with a consideration of the new challenges that packet networks bring.

Packet Transport Networks Training Course in Germany

The Federal Republic of Germany is the second most populous country in Europe and is located in Central Europe. The official language of the country is German. Germany is one of the richest countries in the world. The main exports of the country include motor vehicles and iron and steel products.

Here are some fun facts about Germany:
The fairy tale writer, the Brothers Grimm, came from Germany and wrote many famous stories such as Cinderella, Snow White, and Sleeping Beauty.
Germany is home to the largest theme park in Europe, the Europa-Park.
The famous composer Ludwig van Beethoven was born in Germany.
The Autobahn, the German highway system, is known for having no general speed limit.


Berlin was divided by the Berlin Wall from 1961 to 1989. Known for its street art, Berlin has many colorful murals and graffiti throughout the city. Also, Berlin is home to many famous museums, such as the Pergamon Museum and the Museum Island. Many clubs and bars stay open until the early hours of the morning in this big city.

Another popular city is Munich, which is famous for its Oktoberfest beer festival that attracts millions of visitors every year. Munich is also home to many historic buildings, including Nymphenburg Palace and the Marienplatz town square.

The country's capital and largest city is Berlin, however Frankfurt is considered to be the business and financial center of Germany. It is home to the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, the European Central Bank, and many other financial institutions. Because of its central location within Europe and its status as a major financial hub, Frankfurt is often referred to as the "Mainhattan," a play on the city's name and its association with the Manhattan financial district in New York City.

Frankfurt is also a major transportation hub, with the largest airport in Germany and one of the largest in Europe, Frankfurt Airport. Additionally, it is a popular destination for tourists, with its historic city center, beautiful parks, and vibrant cultural scene.

Some of the top German technology companies like Siemens AG, Bosch, SAP SE, Deutsche Telekom, Daimler AG and Volkswagen has business centers in Frankfurt.
