Before You Begin
You can configure multicasting on IPv4 and IPv6 interfaces.
For information about configuring IP and IPv6 interfaces, see JUNOSe IP, IPv6, and
IGP Configuration Guide .
For information about configuring multicast on IPv6 interfaces, see “Configuring
IPv6 Multicast” on page 147.
Configuring the Switch Fabric Bandwidth
By default, the switch fabric for the Juniper Networks ERX1440, ERX310, E120, and
E320 Broadband Services Routers uses a bandwidth weighting ratio of 15:2 for
multicast-to-unicast weighted round robin (WRR). In the absence of strict-priority
traffic, and when both unicast and multicast traffic compete for switch fabric
bandwidth, the switch fabric allocates 15/17ths of the available bandwidth to multicast
traffic and 2/17ths of the available bandwidth to unicast traffic.
You can use the fabric weights command to change the ratio for multicast-to-unicast
traffic on the router switch fabric. For more information about the fabric weights
command, see JUNOSe System Basics Configuration Guide .
