Multicast Lab with VLC - Howto

This is the how to for this lab: here


R1

!
ip multicast-routing
!
!
interface Loopback0
ip address 1.1.1.1 255.255.255.255
ip pim sparse-mode
!
interface FastEthernet1/0
description wan
ip address 10.0.12.1 255.255.255.0
ip pim sparse-mode
duplex auto
speed auto
!
interface FastEthernet2/0
description lan
ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0
ip pim sparse-mode
duplex auto
speed auto
!
router ospf 1
router-id 1.1.1.1
log-adjacency-changes
network 1.1.1.1 0.0.0.0 area 1
network 10.0.12.0 0.0.0.255 area 0
network 10.0.13.0 0.0.0.255 area 0
network 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.255 area 1
!
!Define this router as a RP
ip pim rp-candidate Loopback0
!



R2

ip multicast-routing
!
interface Loopback0
ip address 2.2.2.2 255.255.255.255
ip pim sparse-mode
!
!
interface FastEthernet1/0
description wan
ip address 10.0.12.2 255.255.255.0
ip pim sparse-mode
duplex auto
speed auto
!
interface FastEthernet1/1
description lan
ip address 192.168.2.2 255.255.255.0
ip pim sparse-mode
duplex auto
speed auto
!
router ospf 1
router-id 2.2.2.2
log-adjacency-changes
network 2.2.2.2 0.0.0.0 area 2
network 10.0.12.0 0.0.0.255 area 0
network 192.168.2.0 0.0.0.255 area 2
!
!Define router as a Bootstrap Router Candidate
ip pim bsr-candidate Loopback0 0
!




Note:
ip pim bsr-candidate and ip pim rp-candidate can both be added to the same router if you wish. Therefore in this lab we could of defines both on R1 and left R2 with only ip pim sparse on its interfaces.


Here are the batch files used in VLC:
StartMulticast.bat:

"C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" -vvv test.m4v :sout=#transcode{vcodec=h264,vb=800,scale=1,acodec=mp4a,ab=128,channels=2,samplerate=44100}:std{access=udp,mux=ts,dst=239.0.0.1:1234} --ttl 12


StartVideo.bat

call "C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" -vvv udp://@239.0.0.1:1234



Here is a video of it all working:
