Multicast Discussion Discussion largely focused on mechanisms and what’s & if’s Everyone seems happy with applying ACLs via ANCP. ACL Acts on IGMP signalling received on the access-line. Need both an ACL provisioning mechanism and dynamic ACL change method. ACLs should allow an association to a port or user. Provisioning capability is also tied to the other functionality that may need to be provisioned… Replication control – done on demand; Transactional: can be done via ANCP start/stop command set, ACL modification: Changing the IGMP ACL (might not work in some scenarios). The ACL could also be a data plane ACL… Two types of replication authorization: pre-authorized or on-demand. CAC is a form on on-demand authorization. Reporting function; can be useful for operations/troubleshooting and accounting. Discussion on whether this is useful. Delay/performance concerns… etc |
