Hands On Next
Generation IPTV Networks
Course Duration:
5 days
Training Course Description:
Once Television could only be received over the air, via cable or
via satellite. Today TV can be delivered over Internet Protocol (IP)
services as well. Indeed many broadband carriers are offering
Triple-Play networks where voice telephone, TV and Internet access
are carried over the same network. Even Cable and Satellite
operators now wish to converge towards this new common IP approach
to enable delivery of TV to mobile phones and PCs as well as High
Definition TV sets.
To be successful in this new technology, knowledge of both
television and networking technologies is necessary. This course
will provide these skills using 'hands-on' exercises in a classroom
setting allowing attendees to Send and Receive IPTV over in-class
networks.
Delegates on this course will complete 'Hands On' sessions which
will enable them to:
- Install and use an IPTV
Streaming application to stream TV
- Install and use an IPTV Client
to play multicast IPTV
- Install and use a protocol
analyser to decode and troubleshoot multicast protocols
- Monitor Layer 2 LAN Multicasting
- Hands-on configuring routers to
carry PIM Sparse Mode multicast
- Monitor Layer 3 multicast
streams
- Implementing QoS using Weighted
Fair Queuing
- Implementing Link aggregation to
improve bandwidth and reliability
- Implement Hot Stand-by Routing
Protocol
Prerequisites:
Delegates should have a good understanding of IP and data networks.
This can be gained by attending Hands On TCP/IP and Internet
Protocols. Other relevent prerequisites include Cisco CCNA or
Comptia N+.
