IPv4 User-Side Multicast Configuration
Configuring IPv4 user-side multicast on a BRAS enables the BRAS to identify users, so that the BRAS can replicate the data flow of a multicast program only for users who are requiring the multicast program. User-side multicast implements user-based multicast service control and management for carriers.
- Overview of IPv4 User-Side Multicast
- This section describes the definition and purpose of user-side multicast.
- Configuring IPv4 User-Side Multicast
- User-side multicast enables a BRAS to identify users that have joined or left a multicast group, implementing user-based multicast service control and management.
- Configuring IPv4 User-Side Multicast for a VPN
- To enable a device to identify users of multicast programs in a VPN and to implement refined management of users in the VPN, configure IPv4 user-side multicast for the VPN.
- Configuring IPv4 User-side Multicast CAC
- To implement refined bandwidth control for users, configure user-side multicast CAC, which helps improve multicast service quality.
- Configuring IPv4 Static Multicast
- To allow IPv4 BAS users to receive the traffic of specific multicast groups without sending IGMP join messages, configure static multicast.
- Maintaining IPv4 User-Side Multicast
- User-side multicast maintenance includes checking multicast group joining information for online users and statistics about IGMP messages, and deleting statistics about IGMP messages on BAS interfaces.
- Configuration Examples for User-Side Multicast
- This section provides user-side multicast configuration examples, including networking requirements, precautions and configuration roadmap.
