Multicast forwarding in RVPLS

Post by Krabntas »

Hi All,
a complicated problem :)

I have a problem with Multicast recieving in VPLS attached to IES interface, the traffic is unstable, i also notice when zapping between channels and going back to the same channel (fast re-join 2 seconds after the last leave) the udp stream stops while states on R1 below that its active! , although no packets are sent out the Interface.

I cant find anything that fix the unstability issue , i think there is a problem in backplane forwarding between IES interface and SAPs inside the VPLS

The topology is as follows:

Reciever 1 --- --- R2 7750SR------------
R1 7750SR===== =====Source
Reciever 2 --- --- R3 7750SR -------------


Some facts about the topology
1- Recievers are working in IGMPv3
2-recievers are configured with no specific sources
3- R1,R2,R3 are confiugred with PIM SSM
4-IES interface is configured as IGMP querier
5- VPLS service is configured with IGMP-snooping send-queries
6-PIM neighbor relation with R2 R3 have no problem
7-static ssm translation is configured on all routers (no RP)

What i did tried to modify with no luck
1-Igmp query intervals
2-Last member query interval
3- tried looking into the vpls fdp igmp and it states that the channel 232.0.1.150 is fwded to the user
4-show ip pim group 232.0.1.150 details is showing that traffic is recieved via R1 PIM interface and sent to IES_Video interface
5- show service id 23212310 igmp-snooping port-db sap 6/1/1:100.* detail shows that MC group 232.0.1.150 is active to SAP.

Hi Have you found a solution to this?

i have the same isue,, but it is OK now,,

from R1 & R3,, can you reached the source's IP address?
have you configured ssm under pim & igmp, example :

igmp
ssm-translate
grp-range 232.0.5.1 232.0.5.5
source 200.1.8.1
exit
exit

pim
ssm-groups
group-range 232.0.5.0/24
exit

From the Release Notes:

When using “ssm-translate” in a Routed-VPLS service, if a (*,G) join had been received in the VPLS and translated to an (S,G) to be sent to the routed side of the service, the related multicast stream would have been forwarded correctly; however, if the same (*,G) had been later received on a SAP or mesh-/spoke-SDP on a different forwarding complex than the initial join, then the multicast stream would not have flowed towards that new complex. This issue has been resolved. [211398-MA]
