I want to understand why I should do this. As a sprint customer, you can start to turn on pim on your igp interfaces, set your routes for nlri unicast multicast as well as your bgp sessions. here's a pointer to sprint webpage: http://www.sprintlink.net/multicast/faq.html Verio customers can contact me for the support/request address (want to keep it out of the list archives to reduce spam and also incase it changes). This is also not a endorsement of Multicast Technologies but they have some info here: http://www.multicasttech.com/faq/ There are a lot of other resources out there. I suggest doing a few searches in google/yahoo and you can find some. - Jared -- Jared Mauch | pgp key available via finger from [email protected] clue++; | http://puck.nether.net/~jared/ My statements are only mine.
