Ip Multicast Switching Commands - Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch 6850-48 Cli Reference Manual

27 IP Multicast Switching
IP Multicast Switching (IPMS) is a one-to-many communication technique employed by emerging appli-
cations such as video distribution, news feeds, conferencing, netcasting, and resource discovery (OSPF,
RIP2, and BOOTP). Unlike unicast, which sends one packet per destination, multicast sends one packet to
all devices in any subnetwork that has at least one device requesting the multicast traffic.
Alcatel-Lucent's IPMS software is compatible with the following RFCs:
RFC 1112 — Host Extensions for IP Multicasting
RFC 2236 — Internet Group Management Protocol, Version 2
RFC 2933 — Internet Group Management Protocol MIB
RFC 3376 — Internet Group Management Protocol, Version 3
Alcatel-Lucent's IPv6MS software is compatible with the following RFCs:
RFC 2710 — Multicast Listener Discovery for IPv6
RFC 3019 — IPv6 MIB for Multicast Listener Discovery Protocol
RFC 3810 — Multicast Listener Discovery Version 2 for IPv6
MIB information for the IPMS commands is as follows:
