Total IP multicast for engineers

Description

This training course provides an advanced three day hands on study of IP multicast technology focusing on architectures, applications and protocols. All aspects of IP multicasting are covered including PC, server and switch implementations. Design, configuration, support and troubleshooting are all covered in the course. Hands on sessions are used to reinforce the theory rather than teach specific implementations.

What is multicasting? Why multicast? Why not
multicast? Multicasting vs. multiple unicasts,
Multicasting vs. broadcasts, multicasting
applications, the use of unicast addressing for
setting up multicast applications, multicast use
within standard protocols such as OSPF.
hands on
Example multicast applications.

Layer two multicast addresses, Class D addresses,
mapping layer 3 addresses onto layer 2 multicast
addresses. Multicast addresses on NBMAs,
scoping multicast traffic, Multicast address blocks,
GLOP, IPv6 and multicasting, anycasting.
hands on
Multicast addressing.

Where the different protocols are used, PC to
router, router to router, how switches can get
involved.
hands on Analysing multicast packets.

Configuring Class D addresses, IGMP, packet
formats, queries, reports, maintaining groups,
enhancements to IGMP (v2 and v3), Leaving a
group, querier elections,
hands on Analysing IGMP
packets.

Controlling multicast traffic with switches, VLANS,
static bridge table entries, IGMP snooping, CGMP.

hands on Configuring switches for multicast
environments.

MOSPF, DVMRP, PIM Sparse Mode, PIM Dense
Mode, MBGP.
hands on Simple router configuration for
multicasting.

Distribution trees, source distribution trees, shared
trees, core based trees. Reverse path forwarding,
Multicast routing protocol types. PIM DM:
Flooding, pruning, PIM designated routers,
hands on
configuring PIM DM.

Rendevous points, discovering RPs,
hands on
Configuring PIM SM, using different protocols for
different groups. PIM SM with one RP, using
multiple RPs, Auto RP.

Multiprotocol routing, how does MBGP work? How
MBGP carries multiple protocol information, MBGP
and multicasts, MBGP and IPv6.
hands on Configuring
MBGP for multicasts.
