Take a look at this. When I ping a multicast address--using a
single packet--I get multiple replies from the same IP
addresses. Why would an end station respond more than once to
a single ping?
R6#ping 224.1.1.1
Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 1, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 224.1.1.1, timeout is 2

I've noticed this before but I didn't really think about it
much. Now I'm really wondering why this occurs.
Do any of you know?
Thanks,
John
