Tariq, We have been running multicast on wireless for IPTV for several years on our Aruba wireless infrastructure. Since you mentioned "flexconnect" that implies, to me, a cisco wireless infrastructure so my experience may not apply to your situation.
We helped them test their "Dynamic Multicast Optimization" from early alpha and we initially deployed the beta to Production. It has been very good for our user experience and we have not noticed appreciable loading. We will be moving away from multicast because we will be switching to a vendor that is not using multicast.

Hello everyone, Just checking if you guys have multicast enabled on your wireless network and if you have come across any performance issues arising after enabling it? Is multicast widely used in your network? I am working on a POC which has requirements that can be fulfilled by either enabling multicast or converting few APs to flexconnect mode. I am more in favour of later method but again want to know your views. Thanks, - Cheers, Kind regards, Tariq Adnan ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/discuss. ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/discuss.
