All things related to multicast

["Ken Gonzalez" <>]

Hello All,

Our video over ip equipment relies upon SNMP snooping and a querier to
manage the multicast groups on switched networks in two places.

The first is during our variable bit rate encoding, wherein we build a
statistical multiplex group with multiple encoders.

The second is when we deliver transports to the customers.

However, this is all within a private network designed for commercial
delivery.

Ken

Subject: 802.11 Multicast TE and Snooping

Hello;

I saw an interesting  article  in Exchange Magazine

http://www.xchangemag.com/webexclusives/5ch16163417.html

about Ruckus Smart WiFi systems,

http://www.ruckuswireless.com/products/

and how they perform traffic engineering and QOS on multicast  
traffic.  Upon making further
inquiries, I was told that they do IGMP snooping, which  AFAIK is
a first on wireless LAN's.

Does anyone else have any experience with these products ? Anyone  
look to see how they actually
perform with multicast ?

Marshall
