IP Multicast is a bandwidth-efficient technology that enables one-to-many and many-to-many communication, making it essential for applications like video streaming, financial data distribution, and real-time collaboration. This lab focuses on multicast fundamentals, including PIM (Protocol Independent Multicast) sparse and dense modes, IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol) for group membership management, and Rendezvous Point (RP) configuration for optimized traffic flow.
Advanced topics such as MSDP (Multicast Source Discovery Protocol), Anycast RP, and inter-domain multicast are also covered. By mastering IP Multicast, network engineers can design and optimize enterprise networks for high-performance, scalable, and resilient multicast deployments.
