For example, there can be a Multicast White list that defines all the local television channels
at standard definition and another Multicast White list for local television channels at high
definition. Other examples of Multicast White list uses is for defining channel bundles like
HBO, Cinemax, ESPN, one for each individual bundle offered.
Configuration guidelines
A multicast white list is a list of multicast group ranges which are allowed for the video
service. Subscriber channel changes for multicast group IDs that are not included in the
configured white list, will be ignored.
The multicast white list is an optional parameter of the video service, and a multicast
address map is an optional parameter of the multicast profile.
With no multicast white list or multicast address map identified, multicast group
destination addresses are unconstrained.
When both multicast white list and multicast address map are applied to a service, only
the white list ranges are passed on to the ONT or xDSL port. The multicast map is
ignored.
Maximum of 16 Multicast white lists are supported per service, where each Multicast
white list supports a maximum of 32 multicast channel ranges, for a maximum total of
512 ranges.
A multicast whitelist can be applied to an exiting video service, or at the time of creating
the service.
Each of the 32 ranges of channels within a multicast white list must be contiguous.
A Multicast Whitelist can NOT have overlapping multicast ranges within a Video Service.
In MDU environments, only Calix MDU devices are supported.
Subtending a switch or router from an SFU ONT to serve an MDU environment is not
supported.
For an SFU deployment, every set top box in the home has access to the entire channel
lineup for the subscriber service being delivered from the ONT device. For MDU
deployments, each port of the MDU device is associated with a single video package.
The maximum number of multicast filtering entries supported per Calix ONT device
depends on the Calix ONT family:
ONT Model Family Maximum Channel Sequences
T-series SFU (T07x) models 64
T-series MDU (T7x) models 128
P-series 700G, GE, GX models 128
836GE RSGs 128
GigaFamily 128
