Per subscriber host replication mode

In this mode a multicast stream is transmitted per subscriber hosts for each registered multicast group (channel). As a result, multiple copies of the same multicast stream destined for different destinations can be transmitted over the same SAP. In this case, traffic flows within the subscriber queues and consequently it is accounted in HQoS. As a result, HQoS Adjustment is not needed. Each copy of the same multicast stream have a unique unicast destination MAC addresses. The per host unicast MAC destination addresses are necessary to differentiate multiple copies between different receivers on the same SAP.

Per host replication mode can be enabled on a subscriber basis with the per-host-replication command in the config>subscr-mgmt>igmp-policy context.

For IPv6, the command is in the config>subscr-mgmt>mld-policy context.
