Are you talking administrative broadcast/multicast or data packets?
We have environments that are 100% multicast for trading applications.
It depends on the requirements for the environment.

Hi Ellis,

No segments have more than 20 percent
broadcasts/multicast.
To calculate the rate of broadcasts/multicasts,
just divide the total number of broadcasts/multicasts
by the total number of frames.
Cisco Press CCDA Exam Cert Guide, pg 45,46.
