Multicast routing is one of the routing protocols in IP networking. There are several multicast routing protocols supporting communications where data...

Protocol-Independent Multicast (PIM) is a family of multicast routing protocols for Internet Protocol (IP) networks that provide one-to-many and many-to-many...

implementation of the multicast concept occurs at the IP routing level, where routers create optimal distribution paths for datagrams sent to a multicast destination...

inter-domain multicast routing protocols, such as MBGP. The following are some common delivery and routing protocols used for multicast distribution:...

or Classless Inter-Domain Routing ( CIDR) notation, IP multicast addresses are summarized as 224.0.0.0/4. IP Multicast Routing Configuration Guide, Cisco...

Distance Vector Multicast Routing Protocol (DVMRP), defined in RFC 1075, is a routing protocol used to share information between routers to facilitate the...

Multicast Source Discovery Protocol (MSDP) is a Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) family multicast routing protocol defined by Experimental RFC 3618...

characteristics of routing protocols include the manner in which they avoid routing loops, the manner in which they select preferred routes, using information...

packets. In multicast routing, the decision to forward traffic is based upon source address and not on destination address as in unicast routing. It does...

Multicast router discovery (MRD) provides a general mechanism for the discovery of multicast routers on an IP network. For IPv4, the mechanism is based...

deciding which routes go into the main routing table. "Main" refers to the table that holds the unicast routes that are active. Multicast routing may require...

Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) is a routing protocol for Internet Protocol (IP) networks. It uses a link state routing (LSR) algorithm and falls into the...

topology of normal IPv4 unicast routers. Thus, it allows a multicast routing topology different from the unicast routing topology. Although MBGP enables...

Management Protocol (IGMP) is used in IPv4. Multicast Router Discovery (MRD) allows the discovery of multicast routers. ICMPv6 messages may be classified as...

by hosts and adjacent routers on IPv4 networks to establish multicast group memberships. IGMP is an integral part of IP multicast and allows the network...

many multicast sources and reduces the amount of multicast routing information that the network must maintain. SSM requires support in last-hop routers and...

Routing is the process of selecting a path for traffic in a network or between or across multiple networks. Broadly, routing is performed in many types...

The Multicast Routing Daemon v6 (MRD6) is an IPv6 multicast routing daemon developed by Hugo Santos. Its main features include: Extensible modular design...

load on hosts that do not participate in routing, RIPv2 multicasts the entire routing table to all adjacent routers at the address 224.0.0.9, as opposed to...
