Empirix invites you to join Chad Hart Wednesday, May 23rd at 11:00 AM EDT for a practical and informative discussion on Testing for Real World VoIP Problem Scenarios.
VoIP networks are subject to a number of known issues that are just beginning to become relevant as VoIP reaches the mainstream. Some of the most common issues include:
- Mass calling events – when an atypically large number of users attempts to make calls within a specified time period, stressing the network beyond its planned utilization;
- Power outage restoration – a flood of registration messages occurs when power is restored after an outage;
- Peer network floods – peer networks can unintentionally overload other networks if interconnecting equipment is not configured properly; and
- Malicious attacks – hackers can mimic the above scenarios and cause a number of other nuisances and security breaches.
Surprisingly, many Tier 1 carriers have already found themselves unprepared for these scenarios and as a result, they have experienced major outages and service degradation.
Drawing off actual carrier experiences, this webinar will examines each of these VoIP issues in detail and provide guidelines on how to set up tests, simulate, and analyze each one in the lab so that they can be avoided in the field.

The subject of many sessions are the requirements to expand and interconnect new services.

Pulvermedia has assembled a panel to present a sneak preview of their specific areas of discussion.
Panelists Include:

- David Bryan, CEO of SIPeerior will be talking about the Peer to Peer technology which will be taught in the SIP Tutorial Day 1 and discussed at the conference as well.

If you have not made plans for joining us at VON Europe Spring then this presentation may help you make up your mind.

Cost: Free
Brought to you by: Nominum
Please join us on April 25th for a webinar on the emerging requirements for IP addressing in IPTV service delivery.
IPTV is a critical offering in converging communication services. But, delivering IPTV services on a large scale presents many technical challenges, including:
- How do you scale IPTV provisioning and service to millions of subscribers?
- How quickly can you restore critical network services after outages or disruptions?
- How do you create a conducive multicast IP channel to the subscriber premises for IPTV delivery?
Nominum invites you to join Ted Lemon, a leading authority on DHCP on April 25 for a practical discussion of IP addressing requirements for IPTV.
The webinar will cover the critical role of DHCP in IPTV delivery infrastructure.
Ted Lemon, Principal Software Architect at Nominum, wrote the most used open source ISC- DHCP server distributed by the Internet Software Consortium and widely used in networks worldwide. He has also authored the DHCP Handbook, a definitive guide to the DHCP protocols and implementation strategies. Ted has participated in the standards body defining and maintaining the DHCP protocol since 1996.
