Note:
Calix recommends that an MVR profile be used for all multicast IPTV applications to
move the multicast traffic out of the VLAN that has all of the middleware traffic, STB
DHCP traffic, and so on.
The following diagram shows two variations of this model: One high-speed-data VLAN
carrying both HSI and unicast video (left node) and separate VLANs for data and unicast
video (right node).
In this model, multicast video is isolated from unicast video via separate VLANs. One or
more dedicated multicast VLANs are used across the entire access network, while unicast
video is isolated into smaller broadcast domains on separate VLANs (N:1 or 1:1).
Configuration guidelines
Each system supports up to 16 MVR profiles.
Each MVR profile can contain 4 ranges comprised of an upstream MVR VLAN and
multicast ranges
The full range of Multicast addresses:
Start 224.0.0.1
Stop is 239.255.255.255
