Can't help you here but it seems Ascend uses pretty normal timing (30s
update, some minutes expire) and sends immediate updates whenever a route
changes. I simply didn't have any problems yet.

To my best knowledge RIPv2 Mcast is completely independent of the Mcast
stuff configured elsewhere in the Ascends. We have a setup with several
Maxes (including 1800 and 2k) and a central Cisco and another one with
a 1800 and a P50. All of them use RIPv2 Mcast and it works. The point
here is that it works against Cisco and against the 2k which lacks any
further Mcast support. I also remember that there was a _bug_ fixed at
some time which caused a standard violation of RIPv2 Mcast. But I have
not yet seen problems with it.
