IP Multicast, Volume IIÂ thoroughly covers advanced IP multicast designs and protocols specific to Cisco routers and switches. It offers a pragmatic discussion of common features, deployment models, and field practices for advanced Cisco IP multicast networks, culminating with commands and methodologies for implementation and advanced troubleshooting.
After fully discussing inter-domain routing and Internet multicast, the authors thoroughly explain multicast scalability, transport diversification, and multicast MPLS VPNs. They share in-depth insights into multicast for the data center, a full chapter of best-practice design solutions, and a start-to-finish troubleshooting methodology designed for complex environments.
Reflecting the authors’ extensive experience with service provider and enterprise networks, IP Multicast, Volume II will be indispensable to IP multicast engineers, architects, operations technicians, consultants, security professionals, and collaboration specialists. Network managers and administrators will find its case studies and feature explanations especially valuable.
- Practical coverage of IP multicast networking in data center, service provider, campus, wireless, and enterprise environments
- Easy-to-follow configuration guides for specific multicast implementations, from basic to advanced
- A definitive guide to advanced IP multicast theory
- Expert advice on selecting the right multicast technology or deployment for each scenario
- Detailed explanations of cross Internet and large overlay multicast operations
