Question:

Most multicast routing protocols, such as MOSPF, minimize the path cost to each group member, but they do not necessarily optimize the use of the Internet as a whole. This problem demonstrates this fact.

a. Sum the hop costs incurred by each packet involved in a multicast transmission of a source packet using the spanning tree of Figure 21.2a.

b. Design an alternative spanning tree that minimizes the total cost. Show the tree and the total cost.
