Multicast routing
Description: Investigate and possibly implement multicast routing on our edge routers.
Deliverables: A report in the first instance. Depending on what it finds, access to external multicast streams
Customer: All
Case statement: Although our core routers are (apparently) capable of multicast support, our edge routers currently don't implement any multicast routing. As a result, Informatics users have no access to external multicast streams.
Status:
Timescales:
Priority:
Time: A week to work out what's possible. Another 2-3 weeks to implement it.
Proposal:
Resources: Ideally this would be implemented on one or other of the inf-unit's existing network servers.
Plan:
Dependencies: May require us to upgrade the firmware in the core routers (though we should really be doing that anyway!).
Risks: It's important that anything which this project produces doesn't destabilise the existing production network.
