> On February 9-10, 1998, 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, Technical Leader,
Cisco Systems; and Deborah Estrin, PhD, Associate Professor,
> Computer Science Department, University of Southern California.
>
> IP multicast delivery has been the key enabler for the development of
> a
wide variety of multimedia applications on the Internet. This course
> describes the creation and operation of the MBone, the Multicast
> Backbone of the Internet, and its most widely used applications: vat
> (packet voice), vic (packet video), wb (distributed whiteboard), and
> sdr
> (conference session directory), for interactive remote participation
> in
> real time. The course also presents underlying protocol technologies,
> including the IP multicast service model, DistanceVector Multicast
> Routing Protocol (DVMRP), and Realtime Transport Protocol (RTP),
and scalable, reliable multicast delivery algorithms. The course also
presents some of the tools available for monitoring and diagnosing
multicast routing and delivery problems, such as mtrace and RTPmon.
Because the rapid growth of the MBone is driving further evolution of
> existing protocol technologies, the second half of the course focuses
> on
> enhancement of Internet architecture and protocols to better support
multicast and multimedia applications. This includes a detailed
> description of the RSVP resource reservation protocol and the PIM
> multicast routing protocol.
>
> 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 $795, which includes extensive course materials.
> These materials are for participants only, and are not for sale.
