Hey Luca,
Whist it may be unlikely that dvmrp will turn up, there is still a
chance that it could.
Whist the routers do not provide a full dvmrp implementation, they can
take part in discovering and exchanging routing information with dvmrp
neighbours. But the actual multicast routing is done using pim while
referring to the dvmrp routing tables. Dvmrp uses it;s own unicast
routing table - but not on a cisco box, hence using the pim table.
It's not a core topic, so you don't have to know it inside out, but you
do need to know that it exists and where you would find it on the doc cd:-
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/software/ios122/122cgcr/fipr_c/ipcpt3/index.htm
If you want to configure it up and have a play, then most linux machines
will run dvmrp.
Hope that helps,
LH
