Students will design and configure a set of inter-connected multicast networks through a series of hands-on exercises. The workshop will be divided into 4 teams consisting of 5 attendees. Each team will configure 3 types of routers in their own network and interconnect their network with other teams' networks.
It is our expectation that, after having experienced a workshop as a student, an attendee will be able to engineer multicast networks within his/her campus or gigaPoP, to explain multicast engineering concepts to peers, and, in some cases, to help teach or facilitate future multicast workshops.
It is strongly suggested that participants have previous experience with router configuration, and basic routing protocols. While a variety of Multicast-related topics will be covered, the primary focus will be on understanding how to configure routers to support Multicast. Participants with backgrounds in configuring campus routers (particularly BGP configuration) will benefit the most from the workshop labs.
We strongly recommend that students get a copy of the book Interdomain Multicast Routing: Practical Juniper Networks and Cisco Systems Solutions by Brian M. Edwards, Leonard A. Giuliano, and Brian R. Wright. Students should prepare for the workshop by familiarizing themselves with this book, and should read at least chapter 1, "Interdomain Multicast Fundamentals", in its entirety.
Topics to be covered at this workshop include:
* 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), which utilizes a subset of PIM's functionality to guarantee 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.
* Deploying multicast in a multi-vendor environment.
