Converged networks transmit computer data as well as voice and video data. As a student of convergence engineering and administration, you must start by understanding data networking. Data networking comprises the largest single knowledge domain on the CTP+ exam, and this chapter begins the coverage of this domain. In this chapter, you will learn about industry standards organizations and the data networking technologies they manage and develop. You will also learn about the Open System Interconnection (OSI) model of networking and how it applies to modern networks.
