Back Cover |
Filled with tips, techniques, and solutions for
implementing the hottest technology around - Cisco's new
generation of routers that are designed to handle IP
multicasting - this is the one book you'll need to
successfully deploy IP multicasting. The important protocols
for multicast service are covered in detail, including:
- Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP)
- Cisco Group Management Protocol (CGMP)
- Distance Vector Multicast Routing Protocol (DVMRP)
- Protocol Independent Multicast Protocol (PIM)
- Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP)
In addition, each chapter that covers a protocol also
contains valuable information on all Cisco router commands for
configuring, monitoring, and debugging that protocol.
Real-world scenarios are included, giving you practical,
hands-on knowledge of IP multicasting. Cisco Multicast
provides:
- A complete understanding of unicast, broadcast, and
multicast IP addressing
- Step-by-step guidance on how to deploy and troubleshoot
multicasting in a Cisco environment
- Complete coverage of current and future intranet
multicast routing
For those who need to know how to deploy IP multicasting
now, this is the definitive book for examining the protocols
that make multicasting possible and for building networks that
can implement multicasting efficiently.
