Objectives
To get participants to design and set up a set of inter-connected multicast networks. The workshop will consist of a set of hands on exercises for small network teams. The workshop will be limited to 20 participants and those participants will be divided into four teams. Each team will have a mix of 5 routers and over the course of the workshop teams will configure their own network and inter-connect with the other teams.
After having experienced this workshop as a student, an attendee will be able to engineer multicast networks within his/her campus/organization, to explain multicast engineering concepts to peers, and, in some cases, to help teach or facilitate future multicast workshops
Who should attend?
Network Engineer/Administrator from educational networks in AP region who will be pushing forward the deployment of multicast at their home institutions.
Course Duration
2.5 days
Course Contents
This training covers the followings topics:
- Router Configuration
- Multicast addressing
- Protocol Soup
- IGMP (Internet Group Membership Protocol) used by hosts and routers to tell each other about group membership
- PIM-SM (Protocol Independent Multicast - Sparse Mode) used to propagate forwarding state between routers.
- SSM (Source Specific Multicast) utilizes a subset of PIM's functionality to guaranty source-only trees in the 232/8 range.
- MSDP (Multicast Source Discovery Protocol) used to exchange ASM active source information between RPs.
- MBGP (Multiprotocol BGP) used to exchange routing information for interdomain RPF checking.
- SSM & other topics
- Deploying multicast in a multi-vendor environment
Prerequisite
Participants should be familiar with router configuration especially OSPF and BGP.Biography of instructors:
Greg Shepherd - Greg has been working with multicast deployments for over 10 years: in R&E networks as an operator, then with Cisco, Juniper, Procket, now back at Cisco. He has given numerous workshops at NANOG, APRICOT, RIPE, AFNOG, SANOG, AIT, as well as directly with customer engineers. Through ISC.org he currently opperates a global multicast peering network.
John Zwiebel - John joined Cisco in 1993 after
designing and deploying the command and control network at Martin Marietta,
Denver, for launching Titan rockets. He was instrumental in the development
of Cisco's internal automated test system with many of his tests still in
use today. In 1994 John teamed up with Dino Farinacci to work on the PIM
protocol.
John deployed the first multicast capable network in Cisco and has been
Dino's foil since that time ensuring Cisco's multicast designs work. John
joined Procket Networks for a brief period but is now back at Cisco ensuring
the IP multicast "just works".
