Course Outline
Course Duration:
1 day
Training Course Description:
The next generation of telecommunications networks will deliver
broadband data and multimedia services to users. Integration of
Internet Access with TV, music and radio distribution will become a
reality provided mechanisms to provide multicast delivery are
implemented. IP Television will provide an alternative mechanism for
delivering services.
DOCSIS is a set of standards produced by the Cable Television industry
for delivering Internet access and other data services over
traditional cable television Networks.
This course provides an understanding of how IP multicasting works,
its advantages and limitations and how it can be deployed to provide
effective services over a modern Cable TV network. It will provide a
detailed understanding for implementers, designers, managers and
infrastructure engineers that need to plan, implement and use the new
generation of networks and services.
Objectives
When you have completed this course you will be able to:
- Describe the basic structure of
DOCSIS standards
- Select the appropriate parts of
the DOCSIS specifications
- Implement the required services at
the customer and network sides
- Provide Baseline Privacy Plus
service
- Select appropriate IP service
mechanisms for Address Allocation
- Carry Internet services over cable
network infrastructures
