multicast best practices

[carl_townshend]

Hi All

Can anyone help with the below questions

1,best place to put a RP in the network ?

2,what if you have multiple large sites, can you have 1 RP per site or RP's responsible for certain Multicast networks?

3,What are most people using these days? Pim Sparse mode? or Pim SSM?

4,What are the mapping agents used for?

5,Is scoping important?

Cheers
