EUMEDCONNECT multicast training

• Material

• Training description

Objectives

From implicit knowledge of multicast pre-requisites, each student will learn how to deploy and manage multicast service in his/her own network.

Method

The first part of the course will be spent on practical exercises on a testbed. In the second part of the training, each participant will present a solution he/she plans to implement on his/her own network. All the audience will participate to validate the solution.

• Pre-requisites

Multicast theory knowledge

Ideally, course participants should have attended the Rome EUMEDCONNECT network multicast training and should have a sound understanding of the following protocols:

• IGMP
• PIM
• MBGP
• MSDP
