IP Multicasting

Routing Concepts in Multimedia Networks

ExperTeach Networking Logo
IP networks are increasingly being used by multimedia applications from the voice and video sector. A characteristic feature of such applications is the transmission of large amounts of data to a large number of end devices. A good example of this is IPTV. Transmission via multicasting conserves the resources of the network and the end devices. However, the transmission of multicast data packets requires the use of special routing protocols and therefore goes beyond the usual range of functions of the systems involved. The proven protocols such as PIM and MSDP, but also modern MPLS and BGP-based approaches for multicasting are covered. This course provides participants with an understanding of the multicast problem. This will enable them to professionally evaluate the topic in their working environment and to deal competently with the terms and functionalities used.

Course Contents

Classroom training

Do you prefer the classic training method? A course in one of our Training Centers, with a competent trainer and the direct exchange between all course participants? Then you should book one of our classroom training dates!

Hybrid training

Hybrid training means that online participants can additionally attend a classroom course. The dynamics of a real seminar are maintained, and the online participants are able to benefit from that. Online participants of a hybrid course use a collaboration platform, such as WebEx Training Center or Saba Meeting. To do this, a PC with browser and Internet access is required, as well as a headset and ideally a Web cam. In the seminar room, we use specially developed and customized audio- and video-technologies. This makes sure that the communication between all persons involved works in a convenient and fault-free way.

Online training

You wish to attend a course in online mode? We offer you online course dates for this course topic. To attend these seminars, you need to have a PC with Internet access (minimum data rate 1Mbps), a headset when working via VoIP and optionally a camera. For further information and technical recommendations, please refer to.

Tailor-made courses

You need a special course for your team? In addition to our standard offer, we will also support you in creating your customized courses, which precisely meet your individual demands. We will be glad to consult you and create an individual offer for you.
