Given the number of traffic types to use per ‟FC in use”, the following rules apply for a SAP in an IES and VPRN service enabled with PIM/IP multicast enabled to arrive at a number of classification entries per FC in use:
If an FC is in use and is created without explicit meters, use default meter 1 for unicast traffic and multicast traffic. This requires one classification entry in hardware. This assumes the default multipoint meter 11 is not created by the user.
If an FC is in use and is created without explicit meters, use default meter 1 for unicast traffic and default meter 11 (assuming meter ‟11” is created by the user) for multicast traffic. This requires two classification entries in hardware.
If an FC is in use and is created with an explicit unicast meter, use that meter for unicast traffic and for multicast traffic. This requires one classification entry in hardware. This assumes default multipoint meter ‟11” is not created by the user.
If an FC is in use and is created with an explicit unicast meter, use that meter for unicast traffic and use default meter 11 (assuming meter ‟11” is created by the user) for multicast traffic. This requires two classification entries in hardware.
If an FC is in use and is created with an explicit unicast meter and explicit multicast meter, use the unicast meter for unicast traffic and multicast meter for multicast traffic. This requires two classification entries in hardware.
