Figure 6-47. DVMRP Interface Configuration
Enter the name of the IP interface for which DVMRP is to be
configured in the Interface Name:[
a previously defined IP interface. See Setting up IP Interfaces,
Chapter 6 of this manual for more information.
Note: The Distance Vector Multicast Routing Protocol
(DVMRP) is a hop-based method of building multicast
delivery trees from multicast sources to all nodes of a
network.
' shortest path' , DVMRP is relatively efficient. Because
multicast group membership information is forwarded by
a distance-vector
DVMRP is optimized for high delay (high latency)
relatively low bandwidth networks, and can be considered
as a ' best-effort' multicasting protocol. See Chapter 5,
Distance-Vector Multicasting Routing Protocol for
more information.
