Design, operate, and troubleshoot advanced Cisco IP multicast in
enterprise, data center, and service provider networks
IP Multicast, Volume II 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.
