Does anyone have any recommendations on a really solid multicast design & implementation book that embraces all the latest greatest mcast enhancements? Like most network engineers I know what mcast is and how it's used overall but I haven't had much direct involvement with it (short of the IGPs that use it). I've been reading up on Cisco's site regarding IGMP, CGMP, various PIM modes, and more but haven't found a very good design guide yet. I need a fairly detailed understanding of the pros and cons of different mcast modes so that I can help guide the product choice for our IP TV system.
I need a ground-up intro to mcast so that I can make sure I really know what I think I know. And I need a good mcast design and implementation book. I found a few Cisco Press mcast books but I really wasn't sure if any of them fit my needs.
Thanks J
