Well, dense mode is too easy so you can probably scratch
that. Sparse-dense with auto-rp would be likely I would think. rp
filtering, group filtering, load-balancing over equal cost paths (can be
tricky). Make sure you understand RPF checks and how to use static
mroutes. It's important to understand static mroutes aren't like
regular static routes, they don't alter the path multicast traffic
take, they only modify the rpf interface (the interface you expect it
to come in on).
There a command a lot of people don't know is available: show tech
ipmulticast, which gives you virtually everything you need to troubleshoot
multicast.
There should be some good links on multicast on CCO. I would also invest
in Beau Williamson's book "Developing IP Multicast Networks" (Cisco
Press). Let's just say every member on the routing protocol team in RTP
has a copy of it, it's the Bible.
