MULTICAST ROUTING

CLI – This example shows that multicast forwarding is enabled. The multicast routing table displays one entry for a multicast source routed by DVMRP, and another source routed via PIM.

Console#show ip mroute3-188

IP Multicast Forwarding is enabled.

Configuring DVMRP

The Distance-Vector Multicast Routing Protocol (DVMRP) behaves somewhat similarly to RIP. A router supporting DVMRP periodically floods its attached networks to pass information about supported multicast services along to new routers and hosts. Routers that receive a DVMRP packet send a copy out to all paths (except the path back to the origin). These routers then send a prune message back to the source to stop a data stream if the router is attached to a LAN which does not want to receive traffic from a particular multicast group. However, if a host attached to this router issues an IGMP message indicating that it wants to subscribe to the concerned multicast service, this router will use DVMRP to build up a source-rooted multicast delivery tree that allows it to prevent
