Hello community!
Any one could tell me how ipmc-threshold works?
I am testing an VSP7254 switch. I need to know how this device works when getting to the MGID limits.
I am confused, becouse sending very few multicast flows, the threashold ipmc counter exceeded.
In my lab I send 1010 flows and the Receiver gets 1010 (with several packets lost..)
If I have a look at the values of ip igmp :
VSP_1:1#show ip igmp sender count

I looked for documentation about.. but I only found the cli command, What is the meaning of this output?
Thanks a lot!
