Implementing and Operating Cisco Service Provider Network Core Technologies (SPCOR) — Question 100

What occurs when a high bandwidth multicast stream is sent over an MVPN using Cisco hardware?

Answer options

• A. The traffic uses the default MDT to transmit the data only if it is a (S, G) multicast route entry.
• B. A data MDT is created to if it is a (*, G) multicast route entries.
• C. A data and default MDT are created to flood the multicast stream out of all PIM-SM neighbors.
• D. A data MDT is created to allow for the best transmission through the core for (S, G) multicast route entries.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because a data MDT is specifically created to optimize the transmission of high bandwidth multicast streams for (S, G) multicast route entries. The other options incorrectly describe the conditions or types of MDTs that would be created, such as suggesting that a default MDT is used or that both types of MDTs are created indiscriminately.
