Multicast Routing - Part IV Limiting Bandwith Part 2

In my previous post on rate limiting multicast traffic i made use of the ip multicast rate-limit function. If prohibited from using the function similar limiting can be achieved via MQC. As ever with the CCIE lab i think it pays to have more than one method of achieving the same goal.

ip access-list extended MCAST
permit ip 224.0.0.0 31.255.255.255

class-map MCAST
match access-group name MCAST

policy-map LIMITMCAST
class MCAST
police 8000

interface s2/0
service-policy output LIMITMCAST


R2#show policy int s2/0

Serial2/0

Service-policy output: S2/0

Class-map: LIMITMCAST (match-all)
