Lesson Objectives

The Design of Cisco IP Multicast Services

  • distinguish between the benefits and disadvantages of using IP multicast as an underlying transport mechanism in an enterprise network.
  • recognize how multicast forwarding works with RPF and the main considerations for the use of IP multicast receiver group membership.
  • recognize how the Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) for IP multicast operates and the advantages and disadvantages of its different modes.
  • recommend the most efficient method to control IP multicasting in a Layer 2 switching environment for a given scenario.
  • identify the design considerations for IP multicast implementations in an enterprise.
  • recommend an appropriate design for IP multicast services in small and large enterprise networks, and over a WAN.
