Describes multicast simulation capabilities, covering SSM parameter representation, comparison of discovered and simulated multicast flows, configuration of flow hops and next hop, demand creation and simulation, and tools to view and analyze multicast flows.
Source-Specific Multicast (SSM)
Explains how source-specific multicast delivers packets from a specified source to receivers for improved efficiency and security.
Discovered versus simulated multicast flows
Lists and compares how discovered multicast flows and simulated multicast flows are handled within Cisco Crosswork Planning, including creation, pathing, and applicable tables.
Configure multicast flow hops for simulations
Describes how to configure simulation settings in a plan file to use or disregard multicast flow hops for accurate planning and routing analysis.
Configure Cisco next hop for multicast flows
Explains how to configure your plan to use Cisco next hop selection method for multicast traffic flows.
Multicast demands
Explains the concept of multicast demands and how they relate to discovered and simulated multicast flows.
View multicast flows
Lists the types of multicast flows and related information available for viewing in the user interface.
Create demands for multicast flows
Explains how to configure a demand to simulate multicast flows in a network plan.
