As multicast flows in the network without sacrificing performance. applications such as Microsoft NetShow and NetMeeting become more widely deployed, end-to-end multicast support Features becomes increasingly important with multicast routing • The MSM may be deployed in a single slot (no slot protocols, which are integral for a consistent, end-to-end dependency) of either the Catalyst 600X or Catalyst 650X. multicast solution. The MSM supports both Protocol • Multiple MSM modules can be configured in a single platform Independent Multicast (PIM) sparse and dense modes and for redundancy and high availability. The MSM module is hot Distance Vector Multicast Routing Protocol (DVMRP) swappable and can be removed or replaced without resetting interoperability for legacy applications. The MSM provides any other modules within the chassis. support for IGMP, Versions 1 and 2, and CGMP server • The MSM is integrated directly onto the Catalyst 6000 Family capabilities for integrating IP multicast support with Catalyst® multigigabit switching backplane enabling the MSM module’s wiring closet switches. These protocols are necessary not only ASIC technology to be fully utilized for Layer 3 performance for IP multicast clients to join groups but also for efficient leave of up to 4-6 million packets per second. processing, which is necessary to save bandwidth and • The MSM is fully compatible with all line cards in the end-station CPU cycles.
