AMT - Automatic Multicast Tunneling support

Fri Oct 07, 2022 3:24 pm

Automatic Multicast Tunneling (AMT) provides a method to tunnel multicast data over a unicast network, this is protocol for delivering multicast traffic from sources in a multicast-enabled network to receivers that lack multicast connectivity to the source network. The protocol uses UDP encapsulation and unicast replication to provide this functionality.

The AMT protocol if an RFC 7450 - https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7450
Both Cisco and Juniper have implementations for this protocol. Additionally, there is also an open source project in C++ that implements the AMT Relay and AMT Gateway.

I was wondering whether RouterOS from Mikrotik supports this protocol or whether there are plans to support it in the future.

Do you have any idea how many "add this" requests are in the queue???
If they followed them, by hypothesis, all of them, they would do yours in 20 years.
