Possible causes of the fault in different scopes
Fault Scope
Possible Cause
User terminal to the
MA5612
l
The rate configured in the traffic profile bound to the traffic stream
is lower than the bandwidth of the multicast program.
l
The QoS rate limitation on the port is excessively low.
l
If pixelation occurs only in program switching, the maximum
bandwidth used by the user may be higher than the downstream
line rate and the fast leave function may not be enabled.
l
The STB is faulty.
l
The TV set is faulty.
Upper-layer
network and devices
of the MA5612
l
The multicast source is abnormal.
l
The network quality is poor. The network communication failure
occurs on the line between the MA5612 and multicast router, and
between the multicast router and multicast server.
CAUTION
To facilitate fault report, save the results of the following steps.
Procedure
Step 1
Order a program again and perform the following steps to determine the location at which
multicast packets are lost.
1.
On the MA5612, run the
display multicast flow-statistic ip 224.1.1.1 vlan 3
command to
query the traffic statistics of the ordered program on the upstream port (assume that the
MVLAN ID is 3 and the IP address of the multicast program is 224.1.1.1).
l
If the queried result is close to the rate of the program traffic, the program traffic reaches
the MA5612 upstream port. It is assumed that packets loss occurs on the MA5612, user
terminal, or on the line between the MA5612 and the user terminal. Then, go to
l
If the queried result is far lower than the rate of the program traffic, the program traffic
loses packets before reaching the MA5612 upstream port. It is assumed that the program
traffic loses packets on the line between the MA5612 and the upper-layer network. Then,
go to
.
Step 2
Check the upper-layer network and devices of the MA5612.
1.
Find the possible cause according to judgment criteria described in
and then
troubleshoot the fault. Then, go to
to check whether the fault is rectified.
