"You think you're efficient?" cackled a creature made of duplicated packets. "When one server tries to send a video to a thousand users, you send a thousand copies. You clog the rivers of bandwidth."
Useful for those managing complex, multi-homed Internet connections or large-scale enterprise backbones. Routing TCP IP- Volume II -CCIE Professional Development
Multicast routing is essentially routing backwards . To forward multicast traffic, a router checks if the incoming interface is the same interface it would use to send traffic back to the source. If RPF fails, the multicast packet is dropped. This is the #1 troubleshooting point in multicast labs. "You think you're efficient
Each chapter concludes with complex configuration exercises and troubleshooting scenarios that mimic the pressure of a CCIE lab exam. Multicast routing is essentially routing backwards
Aimed at experienced network engineers preparing for advanced routing/CCIE-level topics, this book focuses on interior and exterior routing protocols, design principles, configuration considerations, and scalable implementation details beyond protocol basics.
In the world of networking certifications, few books carry as much weight as Jeff Doyle’s . If Volume I is the "bible" of interior gateway protocols (IGPs) like OSPF and EIGRP, Volume II is the definitive guide to the exterior gateway protocols and advanced IP services that power the global internet.
