Hello ,
I am designing a network comprising internet, voice and IPTV. Am planning to put each service into a vlan , my core switch will be 6855s and 6400 as access switches. I dont have a lot of experience with multicasting ! We are not planning to route the multicast traffic in the future , so this mean that all the multicast traffic will be Layer 2 only. My question is whether i will need a multicast router? as per what i understood, its the multicast router which manages IGMP group membership right?
Thanks for helping
