Internet2 Workshops
Internet2 Workshops provide an opportunity to build, debug, and experiment with advanced technologies under the guidance of experts with extensive theoretical and operational experience. These workshops offer knowledge and resources that are unique to the Internet2 community, and provide this expertise to members at a fraction of the cost of comparable commercial training.
Workshop instructors include both Internet2 staff and experts from Internet2 member institutions.
Internet2 Hands-on Workshops take place at member organizations, and are often held in conjunction
with other events such as Joint Techs.

Hands-On Dynamic Circuit Network (DCN) Workshop: This 2-day workshop provides attendees with a working knowledge of how to design and deploy a DCN. The workshop provides an overview of GMPLS architecture, RSVP and OSPF protocols, control plane design concepts, and specifics of dynamic circuit services network engineering as it relates to campus, regional, and national network facilities in the R&E community. Implementation of the DCN Software Suite, which includes both DRAGON and OSCARs, is an important part of this work. Upon completion of this workshop, attendees are able to design and implement a DCN and setup circuits both within their domain as well as with other domains..
Network Performance. Students in this workshop place measurement beacons on their campuses and learn to use related tests and tools, thus reducing the time required to identify, locate and resolve many of the most common network performance issues.
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. So far this workshop has only been offered once.
Campus Architecture and Middleware Planing (CAMP). Offered twice per year in partnership with EDUCAUSE, these multi-day workshops provide guidance on identity and access management related topics. CAMP agenda comprise case studies, discussion sessions, hands-on activities for the purposes of informing practical campus implementations.
The Internet2 Commons. 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.
SIP.edu. SIP.edu workshops offer the background needed to deploy an experimental campus SIP system that provides voice connectivity to SIP.edu (over 250,000 users so far) and a platform for enabling exploration of advanced networked communications (e.g., video, presence) among Internet2 members.
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 in Miami.
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.
