Total H.248 for engineers  |    A 2 day training course

Total H.248 training course description

A course focusing purely on the H.248 protocol. Anyone working through the ITU standards documents can testify to the need of a training course to explain how H.248 really works. This course already assumes knowledge of other VoIP protocols and starts by positioning H.248 in relation to the other protocols. The course then looks at H.248 architectures and concepts before analysing H.248 messages and call flows.

What will you learn
  • Describe what H.248 is
  • Recognise where H.248 fits in relation to other VoIP protocols.
  • Explain how H.248 works.
  • Analyse H.248 packets
