Muticast Query

Hi all,
I have query regarding the Multilayer switches. I have started reading about
CEF. In that i have found that we have switch fabrics in 3 different types
1) Shared Memory
2) Crossbar switch fabric
3)Shared Bus

What i read is in shared memory and shared bus multiple line card can
communicate with single line card using scheduling algorithm. It is useful
when we have a multicast traffic running on the switch.
In Crossbar switching Fabric how it will work once multicast traffic running
on the switch is it use same technology ( Scheduling algorithm)?

Look forward to your Reply.

Regards

Amit
