Multicast routing over static virtual tunnel interface tunnel

You can securely deliver real-time multicast applications, such as video streaming, financial data feeds, and data replication over your VPN infrastructure by using IPsec tunnels configured with static VTI. Use this feature to ensure confidentiality, integrity, and compliance with security policies.

Key characteristics

Multicast routing over VPN supports PIM-SM, BSR-based RP discovery, and IGMP forward over encrypted tunnels. The source transmits multicast traffic through the static VTI tunnel.

Note

We recommend that you configure the First Hop Router (FHR) as the RP.
