The workshop introduces students to the concept of Multicasting on an IP network and presents detailed discussions on the design, operation, and configuration of IP Multicasting. Attendees of this workshop will learn the operation of several multicast protocols including IGMP, PIM, and SSM. Students will also learn the basics of operation and configuration of the necessary multicast protocols to achieve efficient delivery of shared audio and video over a campus infrastructure of routers and switches.
This workshop will be of great value to Internetwork engineers who are looking for an introductory level course on IP Multicasting. The class will give students hands-on instruction in a small classroom setting to ensure that all attendees understand the vital elements of this important technology. This course provides the best value for those who wish to learn about IP Multicast technology quickly and effectively through hands-on training.
