The Nokia Multicast Protocols course provides in-depth training on IP Multicast including concepts, terminology, addressing, signaling protocols, design, and implementation considerations. Upon successful completion of the course students will be able to demonstrate a solid understanding of IP multicast theories and concepts; Describe the operation of a multicast enabled network; Describe the operation of Internet Group Management Protocol and Protocol (IGMPv2 and IGMP v3) and Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM); Describe the techniques used for providing resiliency in multicast networks; Implement IPv6 multicast using MLD, SSM, and ASM; Describe the operation of and implement a multicast VPN (multicast virtual private network) using Draft Rosen; Describe the operation and configuration of a next generation MVPN (NG MVPN). The course includes hands-on lab exercises to help students understand how to configure and implement multicast in a Nokia Service Router network.

Credit for other IP certifications
If you have already received an IP certification from Cisco or Juniper, and your certification is still valid, you may be eligible to receive credit towards prerequisite written exams in the Nokia Service Routing Certification program. To find out which third-party certifications are eligible for credit, which SRC exam exemptions you may be qualified to receive, and instructions on how to request an exemption, please visit networks.nokia.com/src/exemptions. Please note that your third-party certification must be current/active to receive credit.
Course Objectives
After completing the course, students should be able to:
- Understand the need for multicasting and the types of multicast applications
