Multicast rate limiting
Multicast rate limiting provides a mechanism to control multicast frame replication and cap the
effect of multicast traffic.
Multicast rate limit is applied to the output of each multicast receive queue. You can set policies to
limit the maximum multicast frame rate differently for each traffic class level and cap the total
multicast egress rate out of the system.
Multicast rate limiting includes the following features:
All configuration parameters are applied globally. Multicast rate limits are applied to multicast
receive queues as frame replications are placed into the multicast expansion queues. The
same physical queues are used for both ingress receive queues and egress receive queues so
rate limits are applied to both ingress and egress queueing.
Four explicit multicast rate limit values are supported, one for each traffic class. The rate limit
values represent the maximum multicast expansion rate in packets per second (PPS).
Creating a receive queue multicast rate-limit
To create the receive queue multicast rate-limit, perform the following steps from Privileged EXEC
mode.
1.
Enter global configuration mode.
switch#
configure terminal
2.
Create a lower maximum multicast frame expansion rate. In this example, the rate is to 10000
PPS.
switch(config)#
qos rcv-queue multicast rate-limit 10000
The following example creates a lower maximum multicast frame expansion rate to
10000pkt/s.
switch:admin>
cmsh
switch>
enable
switch#
