Multicast stream limitation enables providers to limit the number of multicast groups that can join a VLAN. By limiting the number of concurrent multicast streams, providers can protect the bandwidth on a specific interface and control access to multicast streams.
The maximum number of streams can be set independently. Once the stream limit is met, any additional join reports for new streams are dropped. This allows you to control the overall bandwidth usage in addition to restricting users from receiving more than a set limit of multicast streams on a given interface.
