Course Code: MB1305 Course Summary This half-day course uses real business cases throughout to discuss the lead up to the employment of SIP Trunking. It includes an overview of carrier scenarios in consideration of all IP infrastructures; a brief look at the standards and a detailed discussion of design considerations, including authentication; transcoding; session management; SIP interworking; pitfalls and security considerations. Who would benefit This course is for engineers who wish to understand the market forces behind the growing use of SIP Trunking, explained through real-life examples. Attendees should also have an interest in the standard governing SIP Trunking – SIP Connect, as well as the design options available from a carrier/telco’s perspective. Prerequisites Although there are no specific prerequisites for this course, delegates should have a basic understanding of SIP and a keen interest in understanding the drivers behind SIP Trunking. Topic Areas Include Why SIP trunking? Customer scenarios Carrier scenarios Technical Standards Design options

Course Code: MB1401 Course Summary This course provides an understanding of the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP), Session Description Protocol (SDP) and the Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP) and their roles in establishing multimedia communications over an IP-based network. It also provides a detailed understanding of SIP architectures and identifies the roles and functions of a variety of SIP server types. Who would benefit Those requiring a detailed understanding of the operation of the SIP and related protocols. Prerequisites A basic understanding of IP, UDP and TCP is an advantage. Topic Areas Include The role of SIP, SDP and RTP in multimedia communications Locating users in a SIP environment SIP requests and responses SIP user agents, dialogues and transactions SIP architecture, operation and procedures SIP URIs and Tel URIs Analysis of SIP registration and session control Analysis of SIP and SDP messages and header fields Request and response routing techniques Route and record route headers The roles and functions of SIP Servers: Proxy, Redirect, B2BUA and Forking SDP offer/answer model SIP-I and interworking with the PSTN Registration and session establishment Case studies using Wireshark analysis

Course Code: MB1402 Course Summary This course provides an understanding of the IP Multimedia Subsystem’s (IMS) role in Next Generation Networking. It provides a detailed description of the IMS architecture including security, charging and Policy and Charging Control (PCC). Additionally it identifies the main protocols associated with IMS including SIP, Diameter and SDP and analyzes their role in the IMS registration and session control procedures. It also provides a brief look at some of the applications enabled by the IMS. Who would benefit Those requiring a full understanding of the architecture, interfaces and procedures of the IMS. Prerequisites An understanding of SIP and the packet-switched domains in LTE, GPRS and UMTS networks and their functionality is an advantage. Topic Areas Include What is the IMS and why do we need it? Introduction to the IMS Framework Protocols for IMS IMS architecture, interfaces, operation and procedures Roles of the CSCFs and HSS including AAA procedures IMS access mechanisms and IP address allocation and P-CSCF discovery User subscription profiles, User Identities and Initial Filter Criteria Implicit Registration Sets Application Service (AS) environment Interaction between the CSCFs and the AS environment Circuit Switched interworking The Media Resource Function (MRF) Border Control Functions and gateways IMS Security aspects Online and Offline Charging Policy Control and Charging Analysis of SIP Registration, Originating and Terminating Session Control includes some example Wireshark analysis Emergency call handling IMS Applications
