The topology is like this (can be changed to full mesh)

                      ------R2--client (vessel2)
                      -
                     -
(Vessel1) server---R1---SAT------------R3--client (vessel3)
                     -
                      -
                       ------R4--client (vessel4)

Vessel 1 is master and sends data to vessel 2,3 and 4
the clients need to send data to vessel 1.
1.This is realtime data and delay jitter can be a problem, we are talking about
  max 300ms delay
2.To avoid tcp and broadcast traffic it is suggested that multicast is implented
  in a point to multipoint topology or full mesh !!!!!!!

  There is a suggestion using xcast/Gxcast protocol but as far as I know cisco
  doesn't support these protocols as far as I know
 
3.Ratio would be 60% transmit traffic and 40% receive traffic to and from the
  master.

  Any suggestion on what type of multicast to implement and does anyone know what
  Qos tools that can be used to mesure delay jitter etc...
  As the vsatmodem and sattelite is not my problem initialy I was thinking about
  setting up this in a lab

I know there's a lot of BIG brains out there, so any input will be of great value

Thanks in advance guys.
