Getting Started with Multicast

Much of what you need can be found in the Multicast Cookbook.

There are a number of good Cisco white papers on multicast technology, deployment, router configuration, etc.

In addition, there is a good tutorial-style paper available (personal bias should be noted):

• "The Evolution of Multicast: From the MBone to Inter-Domain Multicast to Internet2 Deployment" (PDF), IEEE Network Special Issue on Multicasting, January/February 2000.
