Multicast works as if the server was feeding only one system. This is great if all the systems were up, and ready to go, but our techs like to do them in spurts, 5 or 10 at a time.
The network was not a bottle neck. This should be, but the network is very robust in our environment.
We found that when loading huge images to dozens of systems at the same time, the the server's processor is the bottleneck.
All the Windows guys had their tail between their legs for weeks after. Linux scored some major points after those tests.
Now we have Windows Engineers asking to get trained in Linux.
