OT: how does your company bring multicast traffic from external

Hi all,

  Nowadays multicast traffic is used in many places, such as stock market data and stream media. How do your companies bring those external sourced traffic into your internal network?

  If we use firewall to pass the data, then latency will be a concern. If let the multicast come in directly, how will you ensure the security?
Please let me know your idea. Thanks a lot!

Thanks,
Qingli
