18.7 IGMP Count Screen
Use this screen to limit the number of IGMP groups a subscriber on a port can join.
This allows you to control the distribution of multicast services (such as content
information distribution) based on service plans and types of subscription.
IGMP count is useful for ensuring the service quality of high bandwidth services
like video or Internet Protocol television (IPTV). IGMP count can limit how many
channels (IGMP groups) the subscriber connected to a DSL port can use at a time.
If each channel requires 4~5 Mbps of download bandwidth, and the subscriber’s
connection supports 11 Mbps, you can use IGMP count to limit the subscriber to
using just 2 channels at a time. This also effectively limits the subscriber to using
only two IPTVs with the DSL connection.
To open this screen, click Advanced Application, IGMP, Count Setup.
