Hi,
Phil Mayers:
1. Data rate:    4 kbps
2. Line cards: 1000BaseX supervisor WS-X6K-S2U-MSFC2
                       1000BaseX Ethernet, WS-X6408A-GBIC
                        CatOS 8.3

Matthew:
1). As we are in the same VLAN, the data is not going to Lyaer-3
2). we are using, pim-dense

Null:
we are not observing such kind of behaviour. what we are observing is that
one of the switch is not creating any multicast table, when we  see in the
mac-address table multicast, there is no multicast table. when we replace
Cisco 6509 with cisco 2950 switch it is working fine.

                                       thank you
