20120113817 | Multicast Network Diagnostics - A Shortest Path Bridging (SPB) network provides a multicast traceroute using network identifiers such as IP addresses for the source and destination (multicast group). The network identifiers, which are based on layer 3 (IP) designations of the traced multicast group, are mapped to a network identifier of the multicast group (corresponding to a layer 2, or MAC address) and an associated Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) which is used to transport the packets belonging to the multicast flow.
