  15. I've been reading up on IP flooding, and it seem to be just what I am looking
  16. for in the way of multicast.. It seems that the IP Helper address wants
  17. to be an IP address of some host that the multicast is going to be
  18. destined to.  Is it possible to use one of the class D network addresses
  19. as specified in RFC 1060?  This would fulful the requirements of being
  20. a MAC level broadcast and an IP level broadcast.  I'm wondering if the
  21. Cisco would accept it?  Is there anything else I should know about this?
