Protocol Deep Dive: PIM
Multicast is a solution that is as old as networking itself but escapes the understanding of many. This course will teach you the PIM protocol (Protocol Independent Multicast) to a deep level.
What you'll learn
Despite multicast being a technology that has been around since the earliest days of networking, the protocols and solutions remain a mystery to many. In this course, Protocol Deep Dive: PIM, you’ll learn the PIM protocol at a deep level. First, you’ll explore basic multicast and the basic PIM packet details. Next, you’ll discover the different IPv4 implementations of PIM. Finally, you’ll learn how IPv6 PIM is used and what special features exist. When you’re finished with this course, you’ll have the skills and knowledge to understand PIM at a deep technical level, needed to develop multicast solutions.
