All things related to multicast

["Jill Gemmill" <>]

The University of Alabama at Birmingham is using Foundry equipment in the
manner you describe;  our link to Internet2 (to SoX, and we are Abilene
subscribers) is through a CISCO router which was recently upgraded to the
level OS needed to support multicast.  I am copying our campus LAN engineer
who can fill you in on specific settings--our first round attempt to bring
up PIM-SM following the NLANR/Abilene recommended config resulted in an
"interesting" packet looping situation.
