I agree, there is no need to use the broadcast keyword on spoke to spoke
pvc' since the hub routers would not forward this anyway. Remember this is a
NBMA network.

Useless broadcasts/multicasts consume bandwidth. FR multipoint interface may
have many PVCs but all these PVCs have to share the same physical line.
Of course, replicating broadcast/multicast packets also consumes memory and
CPU cycles.
Bottom line is - make sure that broadcast/multicast packets are sent only on
those PVCs where necessary and that's my understanding of the function of
the "broadcast" keyword.

Hi, Alexander:
Thanks.
But I want to know some real situation that the "broadcast" is harmful. Say,
the cisco is a vendor that will not put a useless keyword into the IOS. If
the command without "broadcast" has no specific usage, then it should be
merged with the command with "broadcast" into a SINGLE command.
Any advice?
TIA
dillon

broadcasts from one spoke to another won't be propagated by hub anyway.

asks You to propagate mcast to a subset of spokes then map with "broadcast"
only relevant (multicast-enabled) spokes.
