All rights reserved.Cisco ConfidentialPresentation_ID 11 Plan Carrier Ethernet Services Lifecycle Program Plan  Network Audit for Multicast delivery Provide an assessment and review the readiness of the existing IP network infrastructure for delivering Multicast Service Advise customers in preparing the network to meet Multicast requirements without impacting existing services Analyze the network in terms of capacity, quality of services, security, high availability, bandwidth available Example findings Upgrade network link capacity to accommodate projected traffic Introduce DiffServ-based QoS to differentiate between traffic types Ensure consistent deployment of high availability mechanism Define subscriber density guidelines Add redundancy to eliminate significant single points of failure

© 2006 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved.Cisco ConfidentialPresentation_ID 14 Redundancy is achieved with good convergence (unicast routing is the convergence time) Load-Sharing between the two RPs is a plus Load-Sharing depends on topology, not on group range Can work in sparse-mode only (no need for sparse-dense) Can be combined with RP hierarchies Very robust, but the RP address needs to be configured on every router Security is part of the protocol (SA Filtering and conditional Register) Very good option when Source redundancy needs to be achieved on a geographical based (redundancy between cities for national TV channels and not regional) Carrier Ethernet Services Lifecycle Program Design - Multicast Source Discovery Protocol Option 1 - MSDP with unique Rendez-Vous Point (Anycast RP) Design

© 2006 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved.Cisco ConfidentialPresentation_ID 15 Option 2 - SSM Very convenient for One-to-Many applications If sources are static, SSM Mapping can be used No need of RP engineering, no Shared Tree Easy to maintain and configure, especially with static mapping No packet loss due to Shared Tree to Shortest Path Tree Failover Redundancy between sources can be achieved with Anycast IP Very good option when Source redundancy does not need to be achieved on a geographical based (redundancy between sources in the same cities) Carrier Ethernet Services Lifecycle Program Design – Source Specific Multicast Design
