Real-time multicast traffic can entail multiple large flows of data. Large unicast flows tend to be fairly isolated (i.e., someone doing a file download here or there), whereas multicast can have broader impact on bandwidth consumption, resulting in extreme network congestion. Hence, it is imperative that there is multicast admission control to restrict which multicast groups hosts are allowed to join via IGMP or MLD.
Review the configuration of the DR to verify that it is filtering IGMP or MLD report messages, allowing hosts to join only those groups that have been approved. If the DR is not filtering IGMP or MLD report messages, this is a finding.
Configure the DR to filter the IGMP and MLD report messages to allow hosts to join only those multicast groups that have been approved.
Lavender hyperlinks in small type off to the right (of CSS
class id
, if you view the page source) point to
globally unique URIs for each document and item. Copy the
link location and paste anywhere you need to talk
unambiguously about these things.
You can obtain data about documents and items in other
formats. Simply provide an HTTP header Accept:
text/turtle
or
Accept: application/rdf+xml
.
