Figure 1-44. DVMRP Interface Configuration
This menu allows the Distance-Vector Multicast Routing
Protocol to be configured for each IP interface defined on the
switch.
The Distance Vector Multicast Routing Protocol (DVMRP) is
a hop-based method of building multicast delivery trees from
multicast sources to all nodes of a network. Because the
delivery trees are ‘pruned’ and ‘shortest path’, DVMRP is
relatively efficient. Because multicast group membership
information is forwarded by a distance-vector algorithm,
propagation is slow. DVMRP is optimized for high delay
(high latency) relatively low bandwidth networks, and can be
considered as a ‘best-effort’ multicasting protocol.
