Steve,
<p>We've debugged numerous Cisco multicast bugs on four platforms (4500,
7500, 8540, 6500) in the last few months. I have the bug IDs and
symptoms in a spreadsheet, which I'd be happy to send you. Several
of the bugs caused common multicast packets (eg, PIM or IGMP) to "wedge"
the input-buffer queues of backbone interfaces. Feel free to call
me at 510 / 486-6817 if you want to discuss.

our site measurements on the Beacon server. The measurements looks close
to what everybody else has, but after about 10-15 minutes the router stops
passing all traffic.</font></font>
