Multicast by Example: Explains, Configures, Debugs, and Troubleshoots IGMP, PIM, RPs, MSDP, Mroutes, MBGP, OSPF Kindle Edition

Multicast by Example is the result of many years of hands-on experience designing, implementing, and troubleshooting Cisco-based multicast networks. Through the use of virtual networking, I have transferred that knowledge into a single working model that serves as the basis for Multicast by Example.In Part 1, I take the reader through a discussion of multicast protocols and their interactions into the details of their innerworkings.In Part 2, I give examples which are designed to help the reader see, through command, debug, and sniffer outputs, exactly how a multicast flow streams from sender to receiver.In Part 3, I describe troubleshooting commands and give guidance on troubleshooting methods that I learned over years of day-to-day maintenance of large multicast networks.As network engineers, we all think better with erasable markers and a whiteboard in front of us. That's why each part includes detailed drawings to help the reader visualize difficult concepts.It is my sincere hope that you will find this book to be your go-to reference in your own network adventures.
