This course will focus on NGN Evolution, Future Networks and Ultra-Broadband Internet from technology, regulation and business aspects. It will cover the Internet fundamentals, including Internet architectures (client-server, peer-to-peer), protocols (IPv4, IPv6, TCP, UDP), IPv4 and IPv6 addressing, DNS, Internet networking (unicast, multicast), WWW services (Web 2.0, Web 3.0), Internet traffic management and QoS, as well as strategic Internet governance. Further, the course will include ITU's Next Generation Networks (NGN), NGN evolution (NGNe), Future Networks, Software Defined Networking (SDN), QoS for NGN and Future Networks, trusted environment in ICT infrastructures, as well as business and regulatory aspects of Future Networks and trusted ICT infrastructures. Also, it will cover ITUâs ultra-broadband xDSL access, cable access (DOCSIS 3.0/3.1), ITUâs ultra-broadband optical access (G-PON, XG-PON, NG-PON2), QoS for fixed ultra-broadband access, Carrier Ethernet (Metro, Regional, Global), MPLS and VPN (Virtual Private Networks), SDN control of transport networks, end-to-end QoS, as well as strategic aspects for ultra-broadband on digital economy and society. Finally, the course will incorporate NGN VoIP and IPTV, cloud edge and fog computing, Internet of Things (IoT) based on NGNe, Artificial Intelligence (AI) for ICTs, Big Data, Smart Sustainable Cities (SSC), OTT ultra-broadband services (2k/4k/8k video, AR/VR, voice, messaging, social networking), network neutrality, as well as business and regulatory aspects of ultra-broadband services in the digital era.
