BME Multicasting 10-9
Configuration
Configuration
If the multicast tree has a large number of leaf connections, for example, 3000, then the cnfportq
command should be used to configure the Qbin threshold to be greater than needed for half the
number of leaves so as to assure that the multicast group will have no discards. The Qbin default
depth is about 1200 cells.
Qbin example using cnfportq command:
