Dell SmartFabric OS10 User Guide Release 10.5.3

Multicast route optimization

This feature supports 8000 audio streams and 600 video streams that are identified by the multicast group addresses in SmartFabric OS10 network switches.

The total routes including (star, g) and (S,G) together are 8,600 multicast route entries. In a VLT environment with support for 8,600 multicast routes, this feature introduces optimizations to improve route convergence time. However, there is no change in the functional behavior corresponding to multicast routes, while these optimizations are implemented to improve route convergence time.

This feature also optimizes spanned VLAN message exchange between VLT peers.

Supported platforms

The following platforms are supported: S5232-ON, S5296-ON, S5248-ON, S5448F-ON, Z9264F-ON, Z9332F-ON, and Z9432F-ON.
