Can mpls support multicast?

Hi,
Can mpls support multicast packets?
Meaning, can multicast packets be sent to destinations over mpls network?
If so, how does it work?
I read in this forum somewhere that someone mentioned mpls and multicast can co-eixt.
What exactly does it mean?
Thanx!

In the MPLS network you can either use native multicast or you could implement mVPN on the PE routers if you implement MPLS VPN. mVPN uses native multicast in the core to encapsulate the multicast messages coming from a CE router and to forward these messages to PEs containing the same VRF.
For more information on mVPN, see the following link:

Hope this helps,

Does BT IP Clear MPLS support multicast?

Hi
Requirement is to multicast music on hold RTP stream from a Data Center to a remote site over BT IP Clear MPLS network. Catalyst 3750 switches (both running IP Services Image) will BGP peer with BT PE equipment. The Catalyst 3750 switches will also be configured with PIM-SM.
Does BT MPLS support IP Multicast? I could not find any info on the web so I am hoping people have tried it and (hopefully) it worked for them!
Are there any restictictions/limitations using Catalyst 3750 for BGP peering?
Thanks

If you are looking for multicast support on mpls link then you need to ask your SP to provide you the mVPN services. Because they need to configure the default and data mdt under the vrf.

RTP Manager can't support multicast

I want to transmitt voice from one to many using multicast address. I put "230.0.0.1" with port 2222.
I worked with this code (I show just on createTransmitter and stopStreaming method).
private String createTransmitter() {
     InetAddress ipAddr;
     SendStream sendStream;
     SourceDescription srcDesList[];
     String ipAddr = "230.0.0.1";
     int portBase = 2222;
     try {
            rtpMgrs = RTPManager.newInstance();
            ipAddr = InetAddress.getByName(ipAddress);
               localAddr = new SessionAddress(InetAddress.getLocalHost(), portBase);
               destAddr = new SessionAddres(ipAddr, portBase);
            rtpMgrs.initialize(localAddr);
            rtpMgrs.addTarget(destAddr);
            System.err.println("Created RTP session: " + ipAddress + " " + portBase);
            sendStream = rtpMgrs.createSendStream(dataOutput, 0);
            sendStream.start();
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
            return e.getMessage();
     return null;
public void stopStreaming() {
     synchronized (this) {
         if (processor != null) {
                try {
                    processor.stop();
                    processor.close();
                    processor = null;
                    rtpMgrs.removeTarget(destAddr, "destination disconnect");
                    rtpMgrs.removeTarget(localAddr, "local disconnect");
                    rtpMgrs.removeTargets("disconnect all");
                    rtpMgrs.dispose();
                } catch (InvalidSessionAddressException ex) {
                    Logger.getLogger(AudioTransmitter.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
}I can using this, just once (start and stop then). When I'm going in second, I've got the error message that say
"javax.media.rtp.InvalidSessionAddressException: Can't open local data port: 22224"
I debug this, and found that the problem when I initialize RTP Manager. I have noticed that initialized() method just call once. But, I have stopped the stream, and make RTPManager removeTargets and dispose. Show where is the problem?

Update :
I've tried work with AVTransmit2.java. It has same problem. Cannot open local port when meet second chance.
        String deviceName = "javasound://0";
        String ipDest = "224.112.112.112";
        String port = "22222";
     AVTransmit2 at = new AVTransmit2(new MediaLocator(deviceName),
                              ipDest, port, null);
     // Start the transmission
     String result = at.start();
     if (result != null) {
         System.err.println("Error : " + result);
         System.exit(0);
     System.err.println("Start transmission for 60 seconds...");
     try {
         Thread.currentThread().sleep(10000);
     } catch (InterruptedException ie) {
     // Stop the transmission
     at.stop();
        at = new AVTransmit2(new MediaLocator(deviceName), ipDest, port, null);
     result = at.start();
     if (result != null) {
         System.err.println("Error : " + result);
         System.exit(0);
     System.err.println("Start transmission for 60 seconds...");
     try {
         Thread.currentThread().sleep(60000);
     } catch (InterruptedException ie) {
     at.stop();
     System.err.println("...transmission ended.");
     System.exit(0);
result :
Track 0 is set to transmit as:
dvi/rtp, 8000.0 Hz, 4-bit, Mono
Created RTP session: 224.112.112.112 22222
Start transmission for 60 seconds...
Track 0 is set to transmit as:
dvi/rtp, 8000.0 Hz, 4-bit, Mono
Error : Can't open local data port: 22222
So, how to fix this? Thx for advance..

Does Flash Media Server support MULTICAST?

I've been looking thru all the doc's but I can't seem to find
a single thing about whether Flash Media Server can actually
support multicast.

If by
multicast you mean each user can have an individual "stream"
that they can control independent of other users, then yes. HTH...

SOLMAN EHP1 - anyone can create support message in Satellite System's Help?

Hi,
I just curios that why everyone can create support message in satellite system-> help -> create support message?
I tested with restricted profile user and without role SAP_SUPPDESK_CREATE, NO BP created but he still manage to create support message???? Any idea??
Also, same goes to any user can process ticket in SOLMAN with no BP-Employee role and SAP_SUPPDESK_* roles assigned.
Your kind input is very much appreciated.
Thanks,
Nicholas Chang

Hi Nicholas
If you are using a "Named" user instead of the Trusted Relationship in the RFC maintained in BCOS_CUST for entry OSS_MSG then this is quite possible. In this case the "Named" user will be used to call the interface to create message and the calling user ie the end user creating the ticket will only be used as "Reporter" of the message.
The user entered in the RFC details probably has the authorization to create Support desk messages.

K7T Turbo limited edition can't support Windows XP!!!!

i'm user of K7T Turbo Limited Edition mainboard, i treid to upgrade my OS to Windows XP currently and i found that the installation aborted abnormaly when it reach windows is restarting phase, and my PC will just hang without giving any response, i'm wondering my mianboard can't support Windows XP. Another prob i face is my hp deskject 630c printer couldn't supported by the mainboard also, i had tested on other PC and it works truly well. Anyone facing similar situation ?? can i solve my prob with update the latest BIOS

Hi!
There is no reason why your mobo (or printer for that matter, XP-drivers, both for parallel and USB interface can be downloaded from the HP site) would NOT support Windows XP.
It could be, however, that you need to update BIOS first. If you have a BIOS version prior to 3.0, you will have to update.

i currently have a macbook 2.1xersion 10.6.8 and want to update. what can it support? Everything i try, it won't support! I can't even download IPhoto! I can't open anything in my ICloud account either! its not on my current browser nor am i able when logging onto my ICloud account. Can anyone give me some advice besides buying a newer laptop?

Lion 10.7.5 is as far as you can go. You must have at least 2 GBs of installed RAM.
Upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion or Mountain Lion
You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99.
If you sign into the App Store and try to purchase Mountain Lion but the App Store says your computer is not compatible then you may still be able to upgrade to Lion per the following information.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. Or you can order directly on the online Apple Store. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
     Lion System Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
           or Xeon processor
       2. 2GB of memory
       3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
       4. 7GB of available space
       5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.

The last update for 10.4 took it to 10.4.11. To upgrade to 10.5 or 10.6 you have to buy the install disk for that OS. You can upgrade from 10.4 to 10.6 with no problems as long as you have at least 1gb of RAM. Any program that runs under 10.4 will run under 10.6.

Can a supported macbook pro connect to an iphone 5 via airdrop?

Found your answer:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5887?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
Note: AirDrop for iOS supports only iOS 7 devices. You cannot use AirDrop on iOS to share with OS X, and OS X users can't use AirDrop to share with iOS devices.
Yes, I was surprised too!

Does ACE-30 support multicast in routed mode?

We currently have ACE20's, which only support multicast in bridge mode.
Was wondering if it's the same on ACE30's, or if Cisco finally implemented support for mcast in routed mode.
thx
Kevin

Could you please confirm if this applies to both ACE20 & ACE30, or just ACE20?
If both, when does Cisco plan on supporting mcast in routed mode?
thx
Kevin

i have the 24" imac 2.4ghz can it support elements 11??? i need to know soon

Yes, assuming your system meets the requirements for PSE 11. At a minimum you need to be running OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) and have at least 1GB RAM. 2GB would be a lot better.
