Overview/Description The hypothesis test is one of the most important tools used in the Analyze stage of the Six Sigma DMAIC methodology. A hypothesis test helps to determine whether or not an observed relationship or difference truly exists between inputs and outputs identified in the earlier stages of the process. Six Sigma teams are interested in determining whether this relationship or difference is due to random chance or if it is a true difference. If it is a real difference, Six Sigma teams like to determine if it has practical significance. The goal of this course is to explore...

Overview/Description Once you have the subnetting basics down and understand how to divide a network into two or more networks you are ready to determine the optimal subnet mask for a given scenario and how to calculate the usable range of IP addresses that can be used in each of those subnets. This course starts by reviewing and working through a detailed subnetting example that has specific requirements. Next the course introduces block sizes which tell you how many addresses are within the network. It also explains how the first subnet address is reserved to refer to the network itself...

Overview/Description The growth of the Internet and the adoption of networking over the past 20 years are pushing the IP version 4 (IPv4) to the limits of its addressing capacity and its ability for continued growth. To sustain the evolution of the Internet and the ability to scale networks for future demands requires a limitless supply of IP addresses and improved mobility. In response, the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) developed a next-generation protocol, IP version 6 (IPv6). IPv6 satisfies the increasingly complex requirements of hierarchical addressing that IPv4 does not satisfy...

Overview/Description Understanding the benefits of computer networks and how they function is important in maximizing communication channels among end users. This course describes the concept of computer networking, introduces the components of a computer network, and explains how users benefit from using networks. The host-to-host communication models were created to help define how network processes function, including the various components of networks and the transmission of data. Understanding the structure and purpose of the most commonly used protocol stack TCP/IP is central to...
