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
