Please explain how this would be possible: 1 sender 1 mcast group 1 receiver ---------------- = no data loss 1 sender 1 mcast group 2+ receivers on same VLAN and physical segment -------------------- = data loss

Probably a crappy switch. -- Best regards, Adrian Minta
More info if this helps: Switch Platform: 4500 SUPII+ with gig line cards Data rate is <100Mbps Server OS: Windows 2003 R2 (please withhold snickering). ----- Original Message ---- From: Philip Lavine <source_route@yahoo.com> To: nanog <nanog@merit.edu> Sent: Wed, October 14, 2009 8:19:51 AM Subject: multicast nightmare #42 Please explain how this would be possible: 1 sender 1 mcast group 1 receiver ---------------- = no data loss 1 sender 1 mcast group 2+ receivers on same VLAN and physical segment -------------------- = data loss
Is the packet loss uniform for each receiver? Or is there a pattern to the loss, e.g. each receiver hears a different / non-overlapping 50% of the packets? Off the cuff, I'd suspect a problem with IGMP snooping. Cheers, -Benson On 14 Oct 09, at 12:36 PM, Adrian Minta wrote:
