Re: Broadcast ...

Side question ...

What if multicast server (this is a host computer) is directly
connected switch (e.g. port in vlan 500) and several PCs connected to
ports in same VLAN.
Do not PCs get multicast traffic whether they subscribed or nor ?

Is there anyway to avoid multicast traffic using ACL ?

Thanks
