accelerated-multicast

Configures the accelerated multicast stream’s address and forwarding QoS classification
NOTE
For accelerated multicast feature to work, IGMP querier must be enabled.
When a user joins a multicast stream, an entry is created in the device’s (AP or wireless controller)
snoop table and the entry is set to expire after a set time period. Multicast packets are forwarded to
the appropriate wireless LAN or mesh until this entry is available in the snoop table.
Snoop querier keeps the snoop table current by updating entries that are set to expire. It also keeps
an entry for each multicast stream till there are users registered for the stream.
Supported in the following platforms:
•
Access Points — Brocade Mobility 1220 Access Point, Brocade Mobility 71XX Access Point,
Brocade Mobility 1240 Access Point
•
Access Points (as root APs only) — Brocade Mobility 650 Access Point
•
Wireless Controllers — Brocade Mobility RFS6000, Brocade Mobility RFS7000
•
Service Platforms — Brocade Mobility RFS9510

accelerated-multicast
Configures the accelerated multicast stream address and forwarding QoS classification
Specify a list of multicast addresses and classifications. Packets are accelerated when the destination
address matches.
autodetect
Lets the system to automatically detect multicast streams to be accelerated
This option allows the administrator to convert multicast packets to unicast in order to provide better
overall airtime utilization and performance. The system can be configured to automatically detect
multicast streams and convert them to unicast, or specify which multicast streams are to be converted
to unicast. When the stream is converted and being queued up for transmission, there are a number
of classification mechanisms applied to the stream and the administrator can select what type of
classification they would want. Classification types are trust, voice, video, best effort, and background.
classification
Optional. Defines the QoS classification to apply to a multicast stream. The following options are
available:
•
background
•
best effort
•
trust
•
video
•
voice
