Multicast Workshop

In this workshop attendees will form small network teams to design and build a set of inter-connected multicast networks. This course is designed for those deploying multicast networks on educational campuses.

Slide pack (zip, 26.4 MB)

Who should attend:

Network Engineer/Administrator from educational networks in the region who will be pushing forward the deployment of multicast at their home institutions.

Requirements:

Attendees with laptops are preferred

Pre-requisites:

Participants should be familiar with router configuration especially OSPF and BGP.

What you will learn:

Over the course of this workshop students will 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. Each team will have a mix of routers and over the course of the workshop teams will configure their own network, inter-connect with the other teams, and then attach to the Internet.

It is our expectation that, after having experienced one workshop as a student, an attendee will be able to engineer multicast networks within his/her campus, to explain multicast engineering concepts to peers, and, in some cases, to help teach or facilitate future multicast workshops.

Technologies Covered:

  • 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

Please be aware that participants are required to bring laptops
