A school district has equal-cost civic core links and wants multicast flows hashed across those paths where the platform supports it. What capability is the team seeking?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Unicast already loves equal-cost links; multicast can too when the OS supports multipath RPF hashing. Instead of every stream stampeding down one fiber, flows can spread across the bundle. Check platform support—then turn on multicast multipath thoughtfully.
Full Explanation
Multicast multipath allows a router to consider multiple equal-cost paths for RPF and load-share multicast flows when the feature is enabled and supported. By default many implementations still choose a single RPF interface even if unicast ECMP exists. The feature improves utilization on parallel civic core links but must be validated for platform behavior and consistency with tree stability requirements.
