Content

Content	Core content	Complementary knowledge	Specialist knowledge
1.	The goal of the VPN assignment is to provide basic operation of the IPSEC: the exchange of keys and encryption of the transmission.	How to construct different VPN-connections
2.	A package of NAT, DHCP and DNS related assignments shows how these protocols and systems are utilised in the construction of a basic networking environment.

4.	The goal of the BGP-task is to provide a deeper idea how BGP works in practice. The material contains the usage of BGP for controlling the incoming traffic in multi-operator enviroment, Communitys, and MED. During the task, a network composed of five routers and four operators, is being configured and different traffic-controlling tests are being applied.
