All things related to multicast

["Richard Mavrogeanes" <>]

I have not attended, but would hope a comprehensive program would
include:

1) List of specific vendor Ethernet Switch model numbers known to work
well
2) List of specific vendor Ethernet Switch model numbers not work well
3) Sample configuration for representative switch
4) Flood detection methods for network elements that are behaving badly
5) Illustration for a single router / multi-workgroup-switch network
6) Illustration for a multi router / multi-workgroup-switch network
7) Local multicast address assignments vs. Global assignments (igmp v2)
8) CGMP vs IGMP
9) The case for fast leaves
10) How to test your local network for multicast (e.g. free
streampump/streamplayer)
11) Firewall configuration, esp. UDP, and desktop firewalls (WinXP, 3rd
party s/w tools)
12) Multicast and WiFi

Subject: Re: IP/Television

Along the lines of this inquiry I'd like to restate my request from the
instructors of the hands-on multicast workshop for feedback on
experiences with LAN multicast issues so that we can improve the
workshop.  This is an area repeatedly identified by workshop attendees
as one that needs more attention. 
What issues are people seeing with IGMP snooping/CGMP, etc?  What
tips/debugging hints, etc. can you offer?
