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.
