New Description
This course is designed to give the participants an overview of IP Multicast technology by going through two different business models. These are the ASM (Any Source Multicast) and SSM (Source Specific Multicast). All mechanisms associated with these, including PIM-SM, Auto-RP, BSR, Anycast-RP, L2 Multicast and MSDP, will be described. During the training multicast in MPLS networks will be addressed as well.
Target group
This course has been developed for those in need of understanding and implementing IP multicast technology in their networks.
Prerequisites
Knowledge equivalent to our course TCP / IP is recommended.
Other
This is a two-day training. Presentations and materials will be in English. We can also give this course internally for your company. Contact us to find out how we can help you with customized courses.
