There are multiple trees in the Cisco FabricPath. All switches in the Layer 2 fabric share the same view of each tree. Which two concepts describe how the multicast traffic is load-balanced across this topology? (Choose two.)
A.
A specific (S,G) traffic is not load-balanced
B.
All trees are utilized at the same level of the traffic rate
C.
Every leaf node assigns the specific (S,G) to the same tree
D.
A specific (S,G) multicast traffic is load-balanced across all trees due to better link utilization efficiency
E.
The multicast traffic is generally load-balanced across all trees
A: FabricPath assigns a specific multicast (S,G) flow to one tree. A single (S,G) does not get load-balanced across multiple trees.
E: Overall multicast traffic across multiple (S,G) groups is distributed across multiple FabricPath trees, providing general load balancing and efficient link utilization across the fabric.
Why other options are incorrect:
B: Traffic load per tree may not be uniform due to different group distributions.
C: The assignment is done by the ingress switch based on hashing, not all leaf nodes assign the same tree.
D: Individual (S,G) flows do not get load-balanced across trees.
