A regional planning commission needs civic multicast streams to traverse the SD-WAN overlay where design requires it. What should planners treat as a first-order design consideration?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Multicast isn’t a free bonus that just shows up on every color. If planning streams need the overlay, you design for replication and turn multicast on in the right service VPNs. Skip that homework and the stream dies at the Edge.
Full Explanation
Cisco SD-WAN can carry multicast across the overlay, but it requires deliberate design: service-VPN multicast enablement, replication behavior, and underlay/overlay path considerations. It is not an automatic flood on every TLOC, nor is replication performed solely by vManage. Treating multicast as a first-class design item avoids late surprises for civic video or distribution applications.
