Outline for the three-day course on NGN

It was 31January, 2001 the then ITU Secretary General made a historical remark --

“A fundamental paradigm shift has been underway in the telecommunications

industry - a shift that has arguably brought about as dramatic a change in personal
communications as the telephone did compared to the telegram. That change is a
shift from traditional PSTN-circuit-switched voice networks to packet-switched
data networks, using Internet Protocol technology."

Since then around nine years have past, the prediction comes true with the advent
of NGN era. NGN technology faced several hurdles to come to a place where it is
standing right today. Every telecommunication engineer needs to have awareness
about the basics of the technology.
