Upcoming Events: AMPATH Workshop February 2-5, 2003 at Florida International University, Miami,
FL |
Hands-On workshops: IPv6 & MulticastOn February 1 & 2, AMPATH and Internet2 will offer a Hands-On IPv6 Workshop, and a Hands-On Multicast Workshop on February 5-7, to support networking development in the AMPATH service area. Registration information - Register now! GENERAL INFORMATION Over the course of this workshop we will design and set up a functioning IPv6 network. This network will be connected to the Internet2 IPv6 network, and thus to the rest of the global IPv6 network. We will have both external and internal routing configured. Using IPv6 transition tools, we will also gateway between the workshop IPv6 network and the global IPv4 internet. It is our expectation that, after having experienced one workshop as a student, an attendee will be able to engineer IPv6 networks within his/her campus or gigaPoP, to explain IPv6 engineering concepts to peers, and, in some cases, to help teach or facilitate future IPv6 workshops. In detail, the topics we will cover at this workshop are:
WHEN: Approximate time for workshop 9:00AM - 6:00PM on all days (note: Detailed workshop schedule will be posted in the coming weeks). WHERE:
MARC 290 - The International
Pavillion, in the Management and COST: The cost for the Workshop is $200 per attendee, for each workshop. WHAT TO EXPECT: While a variety of IPv6-related topics will be covered, the primary focus will be on understanding how to configure routers to support IPv6. Participants with backgrounds in configuring campus routers (particularly BGP configuration) will benefit the most from the workshop labs. WHAT TO BRING: Students are asked to bring a laptop capable of running an IPv6 stack. Linux or *BSD based systems will offer the most tools and applications, but Windows 2000 or XP are also suitable. We prefer that these stacks be installed prior to the workshop, but help will be available at the workshop if that is not possible. See this list of IPv6 set-up sites. for more information. Over the course of this workshop students will design and set up a set of inter-connected multicast networks. The workshop will consist of a set of hands on exercises for small network teams. The workshop will be limited to 20 participants and those participants will be divided into four teams. Each team will have a mix of 3 routers and over the course of the workshop teams will configure their own network, inter-connect with the other teams, and then attach to the I2 connected network. It is our
expectation that, after having experienced one workshop as a
student, an attendee will be able to engineer multicast networks
within his/her campus or gigaPoP, to explain multicast engineering
concepts to peers, and, in some cases, to help teach or facilitate
future multicast workshops. Topics to be covered at this workshop include:
WHEN: Approximate time for workshop: Weds 1pm - 6:00PM, then 9:00am - 6:00pm on Thursday and Friday. (note: Detailed workshop schedule will be posted in the coming weeks).
WHERE: MARC 290 - The
International Pavillion, in the Management and COST: The cost for the Workshop is $200 per attendee, for each workshop. WHAT TO EXPECT: While a variety of Multicast-related topics will be covered, the primary focus will be on understanding how to configure routers to support Multicast. Participants with backgrounds in configuring campus routers (particularly BGP configuration) will benefit the most from the workshop labs. WHAT TO BRING: Students are asked to bring a laptop and a wireless access card (802.11b required) if you have one. Please install the standard tools (vic/vat/rat/sdr) or IP/TV on your laptops as well as mtrace and any other debugging tools that you find useful. See this tools page for download sites. Related Meeting: Multicast Problem Debugging - at 3PM on Sun, 2 Feb, Bill Nickless of Argonne National Labs will give a 90min tutorial as part of the Joint Techs workshop. LOGISTICS (for both workshops): HOTEL: There is space reserved at the Miami Airport Marriott for workshop attendees. Each attendee should make their own reservation at the hotel - the Block Name is "Techs Workshop". The cut off date for reservations is January 17, and the rate is US $99 per night. Check in time is 3:00pm. A credit card will guarantee late arrival. There is a free shuttle from the Miami International Airport to the hotel.
WORKSHOP LOCATION: REGISTRATION (for either or both workshops) Registration can be made through the website. Payment may be made by check (payable to Florida International University) or by filling out the form below and faxing it to +1 305-348-1422. You do not have to pay at the time of registration, but your space will not be reserved until payment is made. If you wish be to able to come back and pay later you will need your customer ID number, which will be given to you after you complete the registration form. COST: The cost for the Workshop is $200 per attendee, for each workshop. View the list of Registered Participants NOTE: On-site registration will be accepted on January 31 for the IPv6 workshop, and February 4-5 for the Multicast workshop, on a space available basis. DEADLINE: The online registration deadline is January 25, 2003. If you have any questions, or need more information on the Workshop please contact: IPv6:
