Distribution Trees

Distribution Trees
Two types of trees exist in multicast:
Source trees Source trees use the architecture of the source of the multicast traffic as the root
of the tree.
Shared trees Shared trees use an architecture in which multiple sources share a common rendezvous
point.
Each of these methods is effective and enables sourced multicast data to reach an arbitrary
number of recipients of the multicast group. Let’s discuss each of them in detail.
