in excess will not be deleted immediately; instead they will be deleted by the multicast routing protocols
running on the router. The router will no longer update the multicast forwarding entry for newly added
downstream nodes until the number of existing downstream nodes comes down below the configured
value.
Follow these steps to configure the multicast forwarding table size on the public network:
To do...
Use the command...

—
Configure the maximum number of
entries in the multicast forwarding
table

route-limit limit
Optional
The default is the maximum number
allowed by the system.
Configure the maximum number of
downstream nodes for a single
multicast forwarding entry
multicast forwarding-table
downstream-limit limit
Optional
The default is the maximum number
allowed by the system.
Tracing a Multicast Path
You can run the mtracert command to trace the path down which the multicast traffic flows from a given
first-hop router to the last-hop router.
