Total SPB (802.1)for engineers

Description

A comprehensive look at Service Provider Bridging
(SPB) as standardised in 802.1aq. This SPB course
starts with the problems in traditional switched networks
then moves onto to how SPB solves these problems.
As IS-IS is key to loop free topologies in SPB networks,
this protocols is also studied.
