Hi there ppl,
I have asked this before but with discussion it was clear that in 2950 ip
igmp snooping is enabled by default but still the performance is very poor
between the multicast sender and receiver, it seems there is a lot of
unknown broadcast which is i guess normal since unknown unicast, multicast,
and broadcast frames get sent to all ports in the vlan (except the one it
was received on). Anyway I have two 2950 switches with multicast sender on
one switch and receiver on the other (no vlans). Here what I suggest, please
comment.....
To bring in a layer 3 switch 3550, for each server and client make a
seperate vlan, inter vlan routing will be done with layer 3 switch (this is
required since the PC's need to communicate with each other) and volla
multicast & broadcast traffic from one server to its client will be limited.
What do you think people will this work? any other suggestions...
Thanks
Aamir
