All things related to multicast

Peter,
        Are you suggesting that this one box subscribes to all of the 
groups, all the time.  That still does not tell me if the edge switch/PC 
was able to join sucessfully back to the source.  But I guess this is 
better then nothing... 

Thanks
Anand

Re: MC monitoring...






I know of a company that does a lot of multicast.. and their solution 
is to have a beefy router that can do multicast netflow and have the 
router joined to all multicast groups. They then export the multicast 
data to a box for analysis... We are talking an ungodly amount of 
multicast, and it does work.
