Organization
The IP Multicast Volume is organized as follows:
Features (operation manual) | Description |
Multicast Overview | The volume describes the main concepts in multicast: l Multicast basics l Introduction to IP multicast address l IP multicast protocols l RPF mechanism for IP multicast packets |
Common Multicast | The volume describes: l Enable multicast routing l Configure capacity threshold for a multicast routing table l Configuring broadcast/multicast suppression |
IGMP Snooping | Running at the data link layer, IGMP Snooping is a multicast control mechanism on the Layer 2 Ethernet switch and it is used for multicast group management and control. The volume describes: l IGMP snooping overview l IGMP snooping configuration |
IGMP | Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) is a protocol in the TCP/IP suite responsible for management of IP multicast members. The volume describes: l IGMP overview l IGMP proxy overview and configuration l IGMP configuration |
PIM | PIM is widely used multicast routing protocols. It discovers multicast source and delivers information to the receivers. The volume describes: l Introduction to PIM-DM and PIM-SM l PIM-DM configuration l PIM-SM configuration |
Multicast VLAN | When users in different VLANs request the service, multicast flow is duplicated in each VLAN and thus a great deal of bandwidth is wasted. To solve this problem, you can add switch ports to a multicast VLAN and enable IGMP Snooping to allow users in different VLANs to share the same multicast VLAN. The volume describes: l Multicast VLAN overview l Multicast VLAN configuration l Multicast VLAN plus configuration |
MSDP | Multicast source discovery protocol (MSDP) describes interconnection mechanism of multiple PIM-SM domains. It is used is to discover multicast source information in other PIM-SM domains. The volume describes: l MSDP overview l MSDP configuration |
MBGP | MBGP enables unicast and multicast routing information to be exchanged through the same process but stored in different routing tables. The volume describes: l MBGP extension overview l MBGP extension configuration |
