Can anyone recommend a decent Cisco Multicast book?

I want to learn the basics and dealve deeper into it also. There are Cisco press books available but with a publish date of 1999. I wondered if anybody could recommend the best resouce to gain a better understanding of this topic.

Thanks

The chapter in Interconnections by Radia Perlman dealing with multicast is pretty good

Doyle covers multicast in vol2 of routing tcp/ip. I can't attest to how well it is covered, as my copy is still in the mail as we speak. I've been reading volume one for the routing protocols however, and it is fantastic. I'd expect vol2 would be more of the same.

The only things I haev ever used were the Doyle book (as previously mentioned) and the DOC CD. Most of the books out there are old and don't really cover the new methods of multicast like the DOC CD will. Also if you are really bored you can read the associated RFCs.
