114 CHAPTER 6: MULTICAST PROTOCOL

multicast routing table, to determine the incoming interface at which the

packet arrives. If a source tree is used, the source address is the address of the

source host sending the multicast packet. If a shared tree is used, the source

address is the address of the root of the shared tree. When a multicast packet

arrives at the router, if RPF check succeeds, the packet will be forwarded

according to the multicast forwarding entry. Otherwise, the packet will be

dropped.

Applying Multicast IP multicast technology effectively solves the problem of packet forwarding from

single-point to multi-point. It implements high-efficient data transmission from

single-point to multi-point in IP networks and can save a large amount of network

bandwidth and reduce network loads. New value-added services that use

multicast can be delivered, including direct broadcasting, Web TV, distance

learning, distance medicine, net broadcasting station and real-time audio/video

conferencing.

■Multimedia and streaming media applications

■Communications of the training and corporate sites

■Data repository and finance (stock) applications

■Any “point-to-multi-point” data distribution

With the increase of multimedia services on IP networks, multicast has huge

market potential.

Configuring Common Multicast

A common multicast configuration covers both the multicast group management

protocol and the multicast routing protocol. The configuration includes enabling

multicast, configuring multicast forwarding boundary, and displaying multicast

routing table and multicast forwarding table.

Configuring Common

Multicast

Common multicast configuration includes:

■Enabling Multicast

■Configuring the Multicast Route Limit

■Clearing MFC Forwarding Entries or Statistic Information

■Clearing Route Entries From the Core Multicast Routing Table

■Displaying and Debugging Common Multicast Configuration

Enabling Multicast

Enable multicast first before enabling the multicast routing protocol.

Perform the following configuration in system view.

By default, multicast routing is disabled.

Tabl e 116 Enabling Multicast

Operation Command
