Information About Multicast Performance Enhancement

In Cisco NX-OS 6.2(2) and later releases, the multicast performance enhancement supports the optimized
shim frame format in multicast-replicated frames to improve multicast performance. The enhancement is
supported on both Cisco Nexus 7000 M1 and M3 Series Ethernet modules with an XL option (M1-XL /
M3-XL) that are allocated as resources in virtual device contexts (VDCs).
