Tutorial-1

2004.7.3 (Sat) Room B

Title

 Build and understand about a Voice/Video SIP Server for your University/Organisation 

Chair/Organizer

 Stephen Kingham and Quincy Wu
* Stephen is a Video and Voice over IP Network Engineer seconded to AARNet from the CSIRO.

Objective

 To get participants building their own SIP VoIP servers with GPL licensed software SER. Each participant will bring a Linux/FreeBSD PC to this hands-on workshop and install necessary software packages to support them making VoIP calls between participants in the workshop. After the SIP peering for VoIP is established in this workshop, they would take those servers home and the VoIP peering would continue to work and hopefully become part of the Internet2 SIP.edu initiative. 

Outline














 
  • Introduction to VoIP and SIP.
    Learn about SIP for Voice and Video.
  • Build a SIP Proxy Server.
  • Install SIP Clients.
  • Make and receive Telephone calls using SIP.
  • SER routing language and web management interface
  • Authentication Mechanism of SIP
  • Introduction to SIP.edu Project
    Learn how to interface SIP into a PABX.
  • Accounting
  • Troubleshooting Tools
    Learn how to fault find SIP.
  • Advanced Services
    Instant Messages & Presence Service
    Voicemail
    NAT Traversal

    Detailed Outline and delegate preparation  


Tutorial-2

2004.7.3 (Sat) 9:00-12:30 Room E

Title

Quality of Service

Chair/Organizer

 Glen Turner, Network Engineer, AARNet
* Glen Turner is a Network Engineer with the Australian Academic and Research Network, working on the rollout of the AARNet3 network. The recurring theme in his work is the performance under adverse conditions of networks and network protocols, which lead to an interest in applying QoS to that task. The most important step that people can take to improve network performance is always enabling ethernet autonegotiation.

Objective

 This tutorial is intended for network engineers. It will be especially useful for people implementing voice and video data networking on their campus networks.  

Outline

Quality of Service (QoS) extends the network beyond offering a "best effort" service. Services can be tailored for particular traffic, such as voice, video or undesirable traffic.
Quality of service technologies are unrelated to ISO 9001, Six Sigma or other techniques used to manage process quality.
Topics include:

  • the IETF Differentiated Services QoS architecture.
  • integrating DiffServ with call admission technologies such as H.323 and SIP.
  • some QoS offerings: worst effort, admission-controlled voice and video, better effort for VPNs and iSCSI, ensuring control traffic continues during link flooding.
  • can QoS address the risk of congestion collapse from congestion-unaware protocols such as Access Grid video and streaming multimedia?
  • can QoS mitigate denials of service, network abuse and network misuse?
  • implementing a range of QoS services on Cisco, Linux and Procket equipment.
  • updating measurement systems for QoS
The focus of the tutorial is about what we can make QoS do today with recent equipment, with a view to services offered on the AARNet3 network.

 

Tutorial-3 -updated on 2004.6.4

2004.7.4 (Sun) 9:00-12:30 Room B

Title

Design and implement an IPv6 Network

Chair/Organizer

 Chris Myers and Dr Greg Wickham, GrangeNet
* Chris Myers is the Advanced Communication Services Coordinator with GrangeNet;
   Dr Greg Wickham is the Network Operations Manager with GrangeNet  

Objective

 The theory of IPv6 will be explained and then using this knowledge a practical implementation of a IPv6 capable network will be undertaken.

Outline

 The Theoretical component will cover:
  • Address formatting
  • Address allocation and numbering
  • Link Local
The Practical component will cover:
  • Design network layout including addressing
  • Establish basic IPv6 connectivity
  • Using BGP with IPv6.
  • Test applications.
  • Basic fault finding.

Requirements

 Each participant must bring their own laptop with a power adapter suitable for an Australian 240V socket.
A cursory knowledge of BGP would be of assistance
