Configuring multicast routing for the lab is very easy. Designing and implemen
ting a *good* multicast network in the real world is much, much harder. It's n
ot that there's more commands, but understanding how it all works is critical.
 Read Developing IP Multicast Networks by Beau Williamson (ISBN: 1578700779) to
 see why.
