Multicast information policies are used by the video applications to define multicast channel attributes and video policies which contains application-specific configuration for a video interface IP address.
It is within the multicast information policy bundles, channels and source-overrides that a video group is assigned to a channel. The video group association is inherited from the more general construct unless it is explicitly disabled.
The administrative bandwidth for channels at the bundle, channel or source-override level is also defined in the multicast information policy. Video applications use the administrative bandwidth here when a channel rate estimate is needed.
A video policy is defined within the multicast information policy for a specific video interface IP address. The IP address for the video policy is the key value that associates it with a specific video interface IP address within a service associated with overall multicast information policy.
See the 7450 ESS, 7750 SR, and VSR Triple Play Service Delivery Architecture Guide for CLI command descriptions and syntax usage information to configure multicast info policies.
The following example displays a multicast info policy configuration:
