Multicast policies

Overview

You can use the NFM-P to create multicast policies that reduce bandwidth requirements and regulate multicast traffic flow by simultaneously delivering a single stream of information to multiple receivers. Multicast traffic flow is based on the concept of a group; a multicast group is an arbitrary group of receivers that receive the same data traffic.

You can configure the following NFM-P multicast policy types:

• Multicast package

• Egress multicast group

• Multicast CAC

• Ingress multicast path management

• SSM translate

• 7210 SAS multipoint bandwidth management

• MCAC interface
