Multicast Traffic Policing
WBS has the ability to limit the rate of multicast (including broadcast) packets that are
forwarded between interfaces. This feature is applicable to all multicast and broadcast packets.
WBS multicast policing is done on the ingress interface. Since it affects packets forwarded to
the egress interface, the GUI configuration is indicated for the egress interface.
Specifically, if the network operator wishes to limit the amount of multicast packets that are
flooded from the wireless access network into the Ethernet backhaul network, the policing
should be marked on the Ethernet field, on all WBS in the cluster.
If the operator wished to limit the amount of multicast packets that are flooded from the
Ethernet backhaul to the wireless, the configuration should be done on the Wireless field. In
both cases the limit is determined by Kbps (kilobits per second).
W
packets are dropped, including ARP and DHCP. This may result in difficulties to
establish any type of connection.

:
ARNING if the multicast limit is very low, i.e. most of broadcast and multicast
Description
Management VLAN (active when more than one
VLAN is configured).
When only a single VLAN is configured Peer-to-
Peer traffic is allowed.
Allow: multicast/broadcast peer-to-peer traffic is
•
enable
Block: multicast/broadcast peer-to-peer traffic is
•
blocked. Unicast peer-to-peer traffic is permitted.
DHCP server (default gateway) in the wireless interface
(not SBH) is valid. By default, this is not allowed.
Active only when peer-to-peer traffic is blocked
Detection of DHCP server (default gateway)
Auto: Detection is done automatically (by looking
•
for the DHCP Server / Default GW)..
Manual: Must specify manually on which interface
•
resides the default gateway, and for non-
multicast traffic, if it performs proxy ARP and its
MAC address.
