Description
This course provides an introduction to IP multicast technology focusing on architectures, applications and protocols. The course starts with multicast concepts, addressing and multicast on local networks, and continuous with multicast on routed networks, and how to use it over WAN, MPLS and various network architectures
Objectives
Upon completion of this course, the student will be able to:
Understand the concepts of multicast
Understand IGMP and multicast on Local Area Networks
Understand Multicast routing – PIM, MOSPF and other common protocols
Understand network applications and how they areimplemented over multicast networks
