Howard, I would appreciate your view and the group on which one you guys would prefer, Tag switching or Multicasting. We having been running into problems with doing multiple windows XP imaging that can only handle up to 8 computers at a time. Multicast is enable at the layer 2 & 3 but still can't run more than 8 multicast sessions using Norton tool to accept clients for multicast. Once it receives the MAC address of the computer we send a session out to image about 8 computers. The number of computer will fluctuate doing more than 8 and sometimes only capable of doing no more than 3. If we do more than that it freezes up at 25% completion rate of the image. We have over a thousand computers to upgrade to windows XP by mid to late June. Our network has 6500 serious switches along with 7507 core routers. The 6500 handle both layer2/3 functions. Any help will go a long way. Thank you in advance for everyone's input in this matter.

In all cases, the host, if you are running IP protocols that even specify retransmission. TCP does, but UDP does not. RPC over UDP retransmits. The only exception where the router would retransmit would be if you are running X.25, LAP-B, SSCOP, or SDLC.
