It is possible to define reserved bandwidth for multicast groups. If a multicast group is joined on one
Modem
the unicast peak bandwidth can be limited with a value on that
Modem
to avoid unicast traffic to disturb the
multicast stream. This setting is “global” for the
Controller
, i.e. the value is valid for all multicast groups. When
a new multicast group is joined the bandwidth will be limited with the value that is input in the field
UC
Adjustment
. The value is subtracted from the value in the field
UC Capacity
. An example:
-
UC Adjustment
= 20 Mbps
-
UC Capacity
= 1000 Mbps
-
Link speed
= 2500 Mbps
-
When a client joins a multicast group the maximum available unicast capacity for that
Modem
will be 1000 -
20 = 980 Mbps.
-
If another client on the same
Modem
joins another multicast group, the maximum available unicast capacity
for that
Modem
will be 1000 - 20 - 20 = 960 Mbps.
-
No other
Modems
are affected, only the ones that have clients that have joined multicast groups.
This configuration operation will require a
reboot
of the
Controller
.
