The key to solving or simplifying many of these issues is a solid addressing policy. Without a correctly planned and scoped IP multicast addressing scheme, customers will face more complex configurations, which significantly decrease the control of IP multicast over the network and increase administration and support overhead. The objective of this paper is to provide Cisco Systems customers with several methodologies of allocating IP multicast group addresses. With this knowledge, the appropriate scheme or combinations of schemes can be chosen to fit specific customer requirements. It is assumed the reader is familiar with IP multicast terminology.
