Multicast-Related Requests

CENIC supports multicast on both the DC and HPR backbone networks. The process for enabling multicast is as follows:

1. Submit your request via e-mail to noc@cenic.org. Your request will be acknowledged and assigned to a CENIC Network Engineer.
2. The CENIC Network Engineer will coordinate with the campus network contact on multicast configuration tasks.

CENIC is responsible for multicast configuration on backbone equipment. The campus is responsible for LAN multicast configuration, including PIM-SM, MSDP, BGP/MBGP, and RP.
