This course is delivered online over several weeks, during which participants view pre-recorded, narrated presentations and complete learning activities at a time that is convenient for the participant. Scheduled Live Instructor Chat Sessions – optional, but participation is strongly suggested – provide direct interaction with the instructor.
Participants spend approximately 6 - 9 hours per week, on average, completing the various course activities in order to maximize the learning benefits. Approximately 80% of this schedule is determined by the participant and approximately 20% is scheduled by the instructor.
System Requirements: A high speed Internet connection (Cable or DSL) and Internet Explorer 6.0 or above
Live, Online Orientation: Monday, March 19, 11:00 a.m. - noon Eastern (An email will be sent with details before the Orientation.)
Description
This course will provide details on the capabilities of IPv6 and DOCSIS 3.0 as well as the roles they play in the cable network management processes, the rollout aspects of phase 1 for IPv6 implementation, DOCSIS 3.0 integration, configuration, provisioning and troubleshooting the network components and the impact on the cable networks. An in-depth discussion surrounding how to operate IPv6 in tandem with IPv4 as well as the operational issues involved in configuring and managing parallel IP addressing systems is thoroughly covered in this course. The breadth and depth of the course will be beneficial for those responsible for integrating the IPv6 protocol.
Target Audience:
Those involved in engineering the adoption of IPv6, including network planners designing the deployment of IPv6 devices such as DOCSIS cable modems in the network, network operations managers and data center personnel, as well as systems engineering staff responsible for preparing the multitude of systems to support IPv6
Instructors:
Hugh Brydges, SCTE's director of Advance Network Technologies Program Development, will moderate the IPv6 seminar. The course material will be presented and discussed by the following subject matter experts:
