4.1 Multicast II Flashcards
What states are exchanged in MSDP sessions?
S,G
What is the purpose of the MSDP session?
Exchange information about sources between RPs in different domains. Or even within the same domain when used in anycast RP mode.
What is the role of the following protocols in interdomain multicast communication? PIM-SM MSDP MP-BGP
PIM-SM - Builds the MDT, MSDP - Exchanges S,G states between RPs, MP-BGP - Exchanges unicast routes used for RPF
The prefixes announced by MP-BGP do not contain multicast addresses.
True
In interdomain SSM scenarios, there is no need for MSDP.
True
In interdomain SSM scenarios, there is a need for MSDP.
False
MSDP is a dual stack protocol.
False, only v4
__________ provides a solution. The switch listens to IGMP messages on Layer ___, and interprets them silently, to keep track of which host has subscribed to which group.
IGMP snooping, 3
With __________ the switch interprets all Layer 3 PIM messages. This way it learns which router wants to subscribe to which group and can forward the multicast traffic only to the correct ports.
PIM snooping
Multipoint LDP supports the creation of point-to-multipoint as well as multipoint-to-multipoint MDTs.
True
Multipoint LDP does not use the same control and data plane for unicast as for multicast, and thus simplifies operation and troubleshooting in an MPLS core.
False, it uses the same control and data plane.
Label Switching Multicast uses the same control plane as Label Switching Unicast.
True
Consider a group of LSRs connected to the same broadcast domain, which one should send PIM messages towards the backbone?
The DR
(S,G) timers are reset when a packet is forwarded.
True
(*,G) timers are reset when a packet is forwarded.
False
