Objectives

To get participants to design and set up a set of inter-connected multicast networks. 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?

This is a technical workshop, made up of lectures and hands-on lab work. Open to technical staff and Network Engineer/Administrators who are now or soon will be deploying IPMulticast services on a IP based Internet Service Provider (ISP) network, Enterprise network, Campus network or Internet exchange Point (IXP), for one-to-many and/or many-to-many data/media/NGN distribution services and applications.

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,with both IPv4 and IPv6.
  • SSM (Source Specific Multicast) utilizes a subset of PIM's functionality to guaranty source-only trees in the 232/8 and FF3x::/32 ranges.
  • MSDP (Multicast Source Discovery Protocol) used to exchange ASM active source information between RPs.
  • Embedded-RP for IPv6 Interdomain ASM.
  • MBGP (Multiprotocol BGP) used to exchange routing information for interdomain RPF checking.


Prerequisite

Cisco IOS Fundamentals; IGP and BGP router configuration basics.
