A Hybrid Network Platform for Collaborative Applications: IP Multicast is the most efficient way of distributing real-time content to a group of users with minimum delay. On the other hand, there are many networks that do not let multicast traffic in or out. This has made IP multicast unreliable. Peer to peer networks are used to provide...; Tags: Network, P2P, IP Multicast, Peer To Peer (P2P), Networking, Internet; White papers 2005-10-13
Guidelines for Enterprise IP Multicast Address Allocation: The key to solving or simplifying many of these issues is a solid addressing policy. Without a correctly planned and scoped IP multicast addressing scheme, customers will face more complex configurations, which significantly decrease the control of IP multicast over the network and increase administration and support overhead. The objective...; Tags: IP Multicast, IP, Allocation, Networking; White papers 2004-08-01
How the IP Multicast Router Works: Multicasting allows a host to transmit an IP datagram to a set of hosts that form a multicast group. Every member in a multicast group that uses the same multicast address can receive a copy of the IP datagram. Multicast routers are responsible for delivering and copying datagrams to those...; Tags: Datagram, IP Multicast, IP, Multicasting, Host; White papers
IP Multicast: A Scalable Transport for Network-Based Broadcast: Cisco had brought to market Cisco IP/TV technology, a powerful software application that delivers full-screen, full-motion video to desktop PCs, and deployed it internally in 1999. But all that data-video, graphics, and large-scale Web content-couldn't scale when delivered simultaneously to thousands of Cisco employees in real time over enterprise networks....; Tags: Network, IP Multicast, IP, Cisco Systems Inc., Networking; Case studies
Enterasys LAN Switching: Deploying IP Multicast Switching: With the advent of more IP multicast based applications coupled with the deployment of larger switched LANs, the possibility of non-unique MAC address mappings in an IP multicast environment is greatly increased. The presence of non-unique MAC multicast addresses prevents IP multicast capable switches from building independent MAC layer multicast...; Tags: LAN, MAC, Enterasys Networks, IP Multicast, IP, Networking; White papers
