Now as you prepare to pass the BCMSN exam and become a CCNP, you've got to take that knowledge to the next level and gain a true understanding of multicasting. Those of you with an eye on the CCIE will truly have to become multicasting experts!

The sender is usually unaware of what host devices belong to the multicast group. Multicast traffic is unidirectional. If the members of the multicast group need to respond, that reply will generally be a unicast. The range of IP addresses reserved for multicasting is the Class D range, 224.0.0.0 - 239.255.255.255. That range contains a couple of other reserved address ranges. 224.0.0.0 - 224.0.0.255 is reserved for network protocols only on a local network segment. Packets in this range will not be forwarded by routers, so these packets cannot leave the segment. Just as Class A, Class B, and Class C networks have private address ranges, so does Class D. The Class D private address range is 239.0.0.0 - 239.255.255.255. Like the other private ranges, these addresses can't be routed, so they can be reused from one network to another.
