All things related to multicast

["David Farmer" <>]

We are doing it using Cisco's mVPN solution.  I am not aware of a 
standards based solution just yet, IETF is still hashing this out.  There 
is a Draft that represents Cisco's solution and it is covered fairly well in 
a Cisco Press book "MPLS and VPN Architectures - Volume 2"  I 
believe Juniper has a solution as well, I have not looked at it nor do I 
know if it is compatible with Cisco's.

I'd be happy to talk with you and help with config, but I'd need more 
details on you setup and what you want to accomplish.
