MicroNugget: How to Use IPv6 Multicast-Routing Rendezvous Points

Start learning cybersecurity with CBT Nuggets. https://courses.cbt.gg/security

In this video, Keith Barker covers how to use a Rendezvous Point (RP) in an IPv6 Multicast environment. Keith begins by talking about the Multicast environment, including what it is, what its benefits are, and why you should consider using it. He’ll transition to a discussion of RPs and how they fit into the picture.

Let’s assume you have a hundred clients, and they all want to view a video stream. If you use a Unicast environment, you’ll send that same content a hundred different times to a hundred different IP addresses. You’ll be able to get the video to everyone, but at the cost of a tremendous waste of bandwidth.

Alternatively, you could pump the same content out to a group address as a Multicast destination. This allows you to send out only a single copy of the data, and each user can tune in, substantially reducing the bandwidth you’re using.

Keith will demonstrate how to use Rendezvous Points to make this capability that much easier.
