Bootcamp - IMS Signaling Protocols
(SIP, SDP, DIA, ...)
Course Description:
- This bootcamp is addressed to everybody who needs to understand the ideas and concepts of an IMS.
- The bootcamp is structured in different sessions with their own key topics. Each sections consists of a theoretical part followed by a practical exercise.
- The bootcamp starts with a general introduction to the IMS and the Open IMS. This includes the used tools (e.g. wireshark as trace analyzer) and the bootcamp workflow.
- The first registration related practical exercise makes the student familiar with the tools and the behavior of the system as well as with the characteristics of the Open IMS.
- The next section covers SIP and SDP especially their protocol structure, tasks and functions. We conclude that section with a review of a call setup.
- The practical part deepens the use of SIP and SDP during the session establishment and shows the used message routing mechanisms within the IMS.
- This section provides the student the theoretical background to understand the a call setup procedure with QoS negotiation between the peers by using the parameters preconditions and 100rel.
- Within this practical exercise the students are forced to recall their knowledge about SIP and SDP.
- The last session relates to the important Application and Service domain. The students will refresh their knowledge about event server and the purpose of the SIP messages PUBLISH, SUBSCRIBE and NOTIFY and the signaling over the ISC interface towards the A&S domain.
- This practical exercise introduces to presence as a service offered by the A&S domain. Furthermore the students analyze a scenario related to an IP TV / VoD service.
Course Target:
After this bootcamp the student...
- is able to analyze protocol traces taken within the IMS test-system
- has the ability to nail down errors and bugs within an IMS
- has the ability to identify the problem sources
- understands the message flow inside the IMS
- understands the interworking with the common IP-Components (DNS, DHCP)
Pre-Requisites:
- This course requires participants to have a very good knowledge of SIP, IMS and IP.
- We advise to visit our classes “SIP, SDP and other NGN Protocols - Signaling & Protocol
Analysis” and “IMS-Architecture Details & System Engineering” before.
Who should attend:
- Technicians and Engineers who need the ability to nail down errors within the IMS
- Technicians and Engineers who like to be enabled as practical field staff
Necessary Equipment:
- Laptop/PC to take and analyze traces
