On Wednesday October 4th and Thursday October 5th, 2000, the Infonet group of 
the University of Namur, Belgium, will present
an advanced two days course on Traffic control and QoS in IP networks.
The course will be given by Prof. Olivier Bonaventure in Namur, Belgium.

More than 100 engineers have attended the one-day tutorial 
organised in Namur on the same topic in 1999. This successful 
course has been greatly expanded to cover the new developments 
in this important field. The course is intended for network engineers 
who need to  design or manage IP networks. The course assumes
that the attendees have a working knowledge of the protocols 
(mainly IP) used to provide today's best-effort service 
in the Internet.

The two days course describes the mechanisms that can be used
by a network network engineer to better control the traffic
inside his IP network in order to provide a minimum level of 
performance to particular users or applications. 

The course is divided in six main parts : 

1. Applications requirements and transport protocols (TCP, RTP/UDP)
2. Packet-level traffic control mechanisms (classification, buffer 
acceptance - RED, policing, shaping, queueing, scheduling - WFQ, FQ, DRR)
3. Flow-level traffic control mechanisms (RSVP, COPS, ...)
4. Network-level mechanisms (traffic engineering, MPLS, fast restoration)
5. Standardized services (Integrated and Differentiated services)
6. Traffic control case studies submitted by course participants 

The fee for the course is EURO 600 if paid before September 15th, 2000. 
This fee includes course notes, lunches and refreshments.

The course will be recorded with realaudio. The recordings will be
freely available online for students and universities and 
site licenses for this electronic version of the course will be 
available for a fee for companies.
