Rate Limiting IGMP Join Requests
If you expect a burst of IGMP Joins, protect the IGMP process from overload by limiting that rate at which
new groups can be joined.
Hosts whose IGMP requests are denied will use the retry mechanism built-in to IGMP so that they’re
membership is delayed rather than permanently denied.
• Limit the rate at which new groups can be joined.
INTERFACE mode
ip igmp group-join-limit
To view the enable status of this feature, use the show ip igmp interface command from EXEC
Privilege mode.
Preventing a PIM Router from Forming an Adjacency
To prevent a router from participating in PIM (for example, to configure stub multicast routing), use the
following command.
• Prevent a router from participating in protocol independent multicast (PIM).
INTERFACE mode
ip pim neighbor-filter
Setting a Threshold for Switching to the SPT
The functionality to specify a threshold for switchover to the shortest path trees (SPTs) is available on
theS6000 platform. After a receiver receives traffic from the RP, PM-SM switches to SPT to forward
multicast traffic. Every multicast group has an RP and a unidirectional shared tree (group-specific shared
tree).
The SPT-Threshold is zero, which means that the last-hop designated router (DR) joins the shortest path
tree (SPT) to the source upon receiving the first multicast packet.
Initially, a single PIM-SM tree called a shared tree to distribute traffic. It is called shared because all traffic
for the group, regardless of the source, or the location of the source, must pass through the RP. The
shared tree is unidirectional; that is, all multicast traffic flows only from the RP to the receivers. Once a
receiver receives traffic from the RP, PM-SM switches to SPT to forward multicast traffic, which connects
the receiver directly to the source.
You can configure PIM to switch over to the SPT when the router receives multicast packets at or beyond
a specified rate.
