Figure 18 Multicast data transmission through a tunnel
Multicast router
Source Router A
As shown in
Router A encapsulates the multicast data in unicast IP packets, and forwards them to Router B
across the tunnel through unicast routers. Then, Router B strips off the unicast IP header and
continues to forward the multicast data to the receiver.
To use this tunnel only for multicast traffic, configure the tunnel as the outgoing interface only for
multicast routes.
