Network Design

A company is rolling out a new application on AWS. The application uses dynamic multicasting. The company has five VPCs, all attached to a transit gateway. Amazon EC2 instances in every VPC must be able to dynamically register to receive a multicast transmission.

How should a network engineer configure the AWS resources to satisfy these requirements?

  • A Create a static source multicast domain within the transit gateway. Associate the VPCs and applicable subnets with the multicast domain. Register the multicast senders' network interface with the multicast domain. Adjust the network ACLs to allow UDP traffic from the source to all receivers and to allow UDP traffic that is sent to the multicast group address.
  • B Create a static source multicast domain within the transit gateway. Associate the VPCs and applicable subnets with the multicast domain. Register the multicast senders' network interface with the multicast domain. Adjust the network ACLs to allow TCP traffic from the source to all receivers and to allow TCP traffic that is sent to the multicast group address.
  • C Create an Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) multicast domain within the transit gateway. Associate the VPCs and applicable subnets with the multicast domain. Register the multicast senders' network interface with the multicast domain. Adjust the network ACLs to allow UDP traffic from the source to all receivers and to allow UDP traffic that is sent to the multicast group address.
  • D Create an Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) multicast domain within the transit gateway. Associate the VPCs and applicable subnets with the multicast domain. Register the multicast senders' network interface with the multicast domain. Adjust the network ACLs to allow TCP traffic from the source to all receivers and to allow TCP traffic that is sent to the multicast group address.
Explanation

An IGMPv2-enabled Transit Gateway multicast domain supports dynamic multicast membership: EC2 instances join and leave multicast groups through IGMP messages. Multicast application traffic is carried with UDP, and the relevant subnet network ACLs must allow UDP traffic from the source to receivers and UDP traffic sent to the multicast group address.
