Hi,

I am currently going over multicast, but this confusion is also applicable on 
other topics as well...

So, if I want to use static mroute commands, and use the new path for all 
sources possible, I see that the suggested way is

ip mroute 0.0.0.0  255.255.255.255  <interface_or_IP>

That command, like a unicast ip route command too, is using proper mask and not 
a wildcard. That means we are targeting exactly "0.0.0.0" as our stream source 
IP address. That is confusing for me. If we would be using wildcard masks 
instead, than it would mean "I don't care at all what address you throw at me".

To finish this email - I know I have a flaw in understanding of course, because 
everybody is using this construct. :) Please help. :)

Best Regards,
