Chapter 11. IP Multicast in the Enterprise
This chapter explores typical enterprise deployment scenarios for IPv4 multicast. Focus is placed on the design and configuration of a scalable, fault-tolerant, multicast infrastructure using the Junos operating system. Operational analysis and fault isolation are also demonstrated. The topics covered include:
Multicast terminology and concepts
Multicast protocols: group management and routing
Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) sparse mode using static rendezvous points (RPs)
PIM sparse mode with bootstrap-based RP election
PIM and Multicast Source Discovery Protocol (MSDP)-based Anycast-RP
Juniper Networks routers offer extensive support for IPv4 multicast. Consult the multicast overview in the Junos documentation to confirm the list of supported RFC and drafts for your software release.
