All things related to multicast

[Anibal Vega-Montijo <>]

Hi Chris,

We had some experience with a Checkpoint Firewall-1, our solution for 
multicast  was to make a GRE-tunnel from the outside router to the 
inside router for multicast traffic. The Checkpoint was replaced with a 
Cisco ASA firewall that supports multicast.
