All things related to multicast

["Roberts, Michael J. (IATS)" <>]

Jay,
The Nortel application switches are great.  We use their WSM technology in
some of our switches.  They will not route multicast traffic though.  They
are really sharp for load balancing just about any unicast protocol though.
Maybe F5 or Cisco has a product that can route/load balance multicast...

Subject: Load balancer

One of our groups on campus is using a real media server to stream media 
across campus, they have it setup to use multicast as well. They are 
wanting to setup a load balancer in front of multiple servers.

Does anyone have any experience using a load balancer in front of 
multicast sources? Products to look into / stay away from?

Thanks,
Jay
