Asterisk SIP Master
This class is focusing on Asterisk in a SIP network. With a combination of theory and practical labs, you will learn how to setup and configure Asterisk and OpenSER - the Open Source SIP proxy - in a scalable enterprise or service provider network. We will go through various kinds of setups and give you insight in the design of real SIP networks with Asterisk running in enterprise and service provider networks. By meeting the maintainer of the Asterisk SIP channel, Olle Johansson and the OpenSER developer Daniel-Constantin Mierla, you will also get a lot of insight into current and future features, bugs and implementation details in a way that's hard to get otherwise.
Target group: Technical people with experience of Asterisk, working in large enterprises or with Internet Telephony Service providers.
You need to be comfortable with Linux and Asterisk before registering for this class.
Teachers - a professional SIP/VoIP consultant with many years of Asterisk and SER/OpenSER knowledge
The teachers are Olle E. Johansson .and Daniel-Constantin Mierla.
