[2] [3] [4] Regarding IP multicast, it is a technique for one-to-many communication over an IP network. IP multicast covers some part of common multicast routing protocol. IP multicast also describe IP multicast software (i.e. VideoLAN,qpimd – PIM Daemon for Quagga, GNU — PIM module for the Quagga Routing Suite, UFTP, etc.).
MVRP, which replaced GVRP, is a standards-based Layer 2 network protocol, for automatic configuration of VLAN information on switches. It was defined in the 802.1ak amendment to 802.1Q-2005. Within a layer 2 network, MVRP provides a method to dynamically share VLAN information and configure the needed VLANs.
The multicast tree construction is receiver driven and is initiated by network nodes that are close to the receivers. IP multicast scales to a large receiver population. The IP multicast model has been described by Internet architect Dave Clark as, "You put packets in at one end, and the network conspires to deliver them to anyone who asks." [5]
In computer networking, multicast is a type of group communication where data transmission is addressed to a group of destination computers simultaneously. [1] Multicast can be one-to-many or many-to-many distribution. [2] [3] Multicast differs from physical layer point-to-multipoint communication.
Enhanced with AI and machine learning, modern SMART Multicast protocols are capable of self-configuring and optimizing the delivery of high-bandwidth data streams across complex networks. [3] This evolution highlights how SMART Multicast continues to meet the growing demands for efficient and reliable data transmission in modern networks.
An example of how to configure a simple, three switch MSTP topology wherein a layer-two access switch carries four VLANs and has two uplinks to two distribution switches, can be found here: MSTP Configuration Guide A good configuration view, from the above-mentioned example shall be: S3# show spanning-tree mst
The Cisco Supervisor Engine serves as the management card for modular Cisco switches that can also, in some cases, act as forwarding/routing element. [1]Over time, the Supervisor Engine has undergone multiple iterations and was different for different modular switches in Cisco Portfolio (Catalyst 4000, 4500, 5000, 5500, 6000, 6500, 9400, 9600 and Nexus switches).
The X.25 network, which used the Coloured Book protocols, was based mainly on GEC 4000 series switches, and ran X.25 links at up to 8 Mbit/s in its final phase before being converted to an IP-based network in 1991. The JANET network grew out of the 1970s SRCnet, later called SERCnet.
