The address ranges defined in an MVR profile must be distinct from each other, not
overlapping.
The address ranges defined in different MVR profiles, are allowed to overlap.
One MVR VLAN per MVR profile can have no IP range specified so that all IGMP and
multicast traffic not matching any other MVR VLAN with defined IP address ranges will
be mapped to this VLAN with no assigned IP range.
An MVR VLAN cannot also be used as an Ethernet service VLAN.
A subscriber port is allowed to be associated with only one MVR profile.
Multicast video traffic (broadcast content) and unicast video traffic (STB DHCP activity,
VOD, etc.) must arrive at the E-Series on separate VLANs.
For MVR configuration on a subscriber port, create a minimum of two VLANs:
One VLAN for Unicast traffic (DHCP and VOD packets) with IGMP Mode = flood
where it correlates to the matched traffic rule and associated service-tag action when
provisioning the service on the subscriber port.
One VLAN for Multicast traffic (IGMP and video packets) with IGMP Mode =
proxy where it correlates to the MVR VLAN profile definition that is associated to
the Multicast Profile used when provisioning the service on the subscriber port.
The ONTs do not support tagged and untagged match rules on the same ONT for video
services. Only one classification rule is allowed for video services per ONT.
Multiple Video Providers
In order to support multiple video service providers over the same access network, the
system supports 16 MVR profiles and one video provider per MVR profile. Each MVR
profile specifies a multicast VLAN used for delivery of IPTV streams for that provider.
Within a given service provider the multicast ranges must not overlap.
Overlapping Multicast Addresses
Given that each video service provider is assigned a unique MVR profile and associated
multicast VLAN, each service provider may use an arbitrary range of multicast addresses
without concern for other providers that are sharing the access network. A given
subscriber port, can only be associated with a single video service provider. The range of
multicast addresses that are available on one subscriber port can overlap with the range
of multicast addresses used on another subscriber port without conflict provided that the
multicast addresses are sourced from different multicast VLANs (different providers).
Before starting
Before you start the procedure to create a MVR profile and include an MVR VLAN address
range, the VLAN must exist on the system.
