Internet2 Workshops
Internet2 Workshops offer specific knowledge, technical resources, and the opportunity to network with your colleagues. The meetings feature a number of formats from pragmatic hands-on sessions to campus case studies that illustrate emerging practices or principles. Customized training is also available upon request.
Workshop instructors include both Internet2 staff and experts from Internet2 member institutions and partner organizations.
Internet2 Workshops generally take place at member organizations, and are often held in conjunction with other events such as Member Meetings and Joint Techs. For more information about workshops or to suggest a new workshop topic, contact workshops@internet2.edu.

Network Performance. This 1.5-day workshop provides attendees with a working knowledge of how to quickly identify and solve common host configuration and network performance problems. The workshop provides hands-on experience of installing and using a variety of open-source performance tools, experience in interpreting the tool results, and introduction to methodologies for using a combination of tools to solve real-world problems. Upon completion of this workshop, attendees will be able to: (1) differentiate between host configuration and network infrastructure problems, (2) set up and operate the various servers, (3) assist end-users in using these tools to effectively report problems, and (4) understand how to use these tools for long-term monitoring activities.
IPv6. In Internet2 IPv6 workshops, students design and set up a functioning IPv6 network, connect to the global IPv6 network via Internet2, configure external and internal routing, and use IPv6 transition tools to gateway between the workshop IPv6 network and the global IPv4 Internet.
IPv4 Multicast. In the Internet2 IPv4 multicast workshop, students design and configure a set of interconnected multicast networks. The workshop is divided into four teams; each team configures three types of routers in its own network, and interconnects its network with the other teams' networks.
IPv6 Multicast. The IPv6 multicast workshop is similar to the (IPv4) multicast workshop, but assumes more background in IPv6 unicast and IPv4 multicast.
Campus Architecture and Middleware Planning (CAMP). The InCommon CAMP series explore issues related to identity and access management. CAMP promotes effective campus identity practices, Advance CAMP explores emerging identity-related trends, and Day CAMP provides a one-day intensive session on a particular topic.
The Internet2 Commons Site Coordinator Training. H.323 videoconferencing workshops help Internet2 members test and evaluate collaboration tools hosted at the Commons, and prepare individuals to manage Commons services at their institutions.
Voice over IP (VoIP)/Session Initiation Protocol (SIP). The VoIP workshop provides the fundamentals of SIP VoIP signaling, infrastructure requirements, including network partitioning strategies, network monitoring, and support for high reliability power. Included in the workshop are hands-on work in managing SIP Proxies, Session Border Controllers, and Gateways. The workshop concludes with an in-depth discussion of current (E-911) and future (NG 9-1-1) requirements, VoIP security based upon a recent NSF funded security grant, VoIP based emergency alert services, and VoIP trunking.

Performing Arts and Master Class Production. These workshops offer instruction in connecting with remote sites over Internet2, setting up incoming and outgoing audio, creating a multi-camera shoot, placing lights and projectors, and operating codecs. The workshops are currently offered once a year at New World Symphony, and once a year in partnership with TERENA at a European location.
Digital Video Transport System (DVTS). DVTS workshops provide hands-on experience setting up and using this simple and inexpensive method of transmitting high-quality video over the Internet.
