"You start off with a passion for the technology, add a great learning opportunity and there you have the recipe for success," says Doughan Turk. "This is what HÂþ»­'s Internetworking program is all about. I got involved in internetworking immediately after doing my undergraduate degree in 1996. No matter what book I read or course I took, I always felt that something fundamental was missing in my understanding of the technology."

"In 1999, I learned about HÂþ»­'s Master of Engineering in Internetworking. I enrolled and, after 10 months of really hard work, I finally found what I was missing! It is the fundamental and deep understanding of TCP/IP that some of the folks with industry certificates are missing. Some might say, it is not important to get that type of academic education, but I totally disagree."

"It is this deep understanding of the building blocks of this industry that draws the line between the innovators and the users, between people who configure protocols and those who write the protocols."

"I am currently employed by Bell Canada. I worked on the Public Backbone and MPLS network for five years. I obtained my CCIE, wrote RFC3882, which happened to be my graduation project. As well, I have contributed five patent submissions to the Bell Canada Intellectual property rights portfolio. I couldn't have done any of this without my experience at HÂþ»­!"
