IPEP Self Assessment
Where did you create this artifact?
The SCTE IPEP Certification is an IP networking based certification offered by The Society of Cable Telecommunications Engineers. The IPEP is the top level certification offered by SCTE, and covers many topics related to networking in a service provider environment; including IPv6 and DOCSIS.
What did you learn?
In preparation for this exam I learned a great deal about layer 2 and layer 3 concepts and protocols. Because the exam goes into great depth with regards to IPv6 I had to perform a great deal of individual study related to the topic.
How did you learn this?
The vast majority of my learning for this exam was self-study. I mainly used several study guides that I purchased; however, because the SCTE exams do not have individualized study guides I had to use multiple resources to cover all the topics included in the exam.
How will you apply this?
IPv6 is on the rise, I think any certification that allows me to gain a better understanding of the technology will improve my academic and industry performance accordingly.
What challenges & obstacles did you overcome?
I would say the biggest challenge while studying for the certification was to find resources to cover each topic on the exam and develop the depth of knowledge needed to successfully sit for the exam.
