Our relationship with WildPackets helps us realize this goal," says David Mantica, Worldwide Director of Networking Products. "In order to do their job well, our students must become familiar with the fundamentals of networking, including a thorough understanding of protocols, which are the network's foundation. WildPackets' products provide easy access to this vital instruction."

Global Knowledge will begin integrating WildPackets products into the hands-on networking courses "Understanding Networking Fundamentals" and "Internetworking with TCP/IP." in the second quarter of 2002.
