On February 12-14, 1997, UCLA Extension will present the short course,
"Internet Multicast and Multimedia Technologies: The MBone, Multicast
Routing, RTP, and RSVP", on the UCLA campus in Los Angeles.
The instructors are Lixia Zhang, PhD, Associate Professor, Computer
Science Department, UCLA; Steve Deering, PhD, Member of Research
Staff, Xerox PARC; Deborah Estrin, PhD, Associate Professor, Computer
Science Department, University of Southern California.
IP multicast delivery has been the key enabler for the flurry of
multimedia applications on the Internet over the past few years. This
course describes
the creation and operation of the MBone, the Multicast Backbone of the
Internet, and demonstrates such applications as vat (packet voice), vic
(packet video), wb (distributed whiteboard), and sdr (conference session
directory), for interactive remote participation in realtime. The course
also
presents underlying protocol technologies, including the IP multicast
service model, DistanceVector Multicast Routing Protocol (DVMRP), and
Realtime Transport Protocol (RTP).
The rapid growth of the MBone has driven further evolution of existing
protocol technologies. The second half of the course focuses on
enhancement of Internet architecture and protocols, including a detailed
description of the forthcoming resource reservation protocol, RSVP, the
proposed next generation of multicast routing protocol, PIM, and a
design
framework for scalable, reliable multicast, SRM.
The course is intended for Internet protocol implementors, Internet
service
providers, managers and planners of enterprise networks, and anyone
wishing to learn how MBone works, and how IP multicast protocols and
applications are evolving.
The course fee is $1195, which includes extensive course materials.
These materials are for participants only, and are not for sale.
