Hi all,
 
I have a question. Again a very stupid one :-)
We know that we need to look out for RPF aka the split horizon issue in multicasting.
We need to make sure multicast stream is coming from the unicast routing table interface or else we point mroute to the interface configured for PIM mode.
 
If it is a Source bases (default) I ll look for source's (media server) ip address
If it is a Shared tree, I ll lookout for RP's ip address.
 
Q1) Should we, also be looking out for Mapping agent'a ip address also?
Q2) Do we have to lookout for Source and RP addresses at the same time? Coz intially it is Shared and then it switches to source (default)
 
Thanx
Tom
