.1.3.6.1.4.1.4491.2.1.18.1
docsMcastCmtsGrpCfgTableThis object controls the QoS, PHS and encryption settings for downstream forwarding of IP multicast sessions. An IP multicast session is replicated to one or more Downstream Channel Sets (DCSs), where each DCS is either a single downstream channel or a downstream bonding group of multiple channels. The CMTS determines on which DCSs to replicate a multicast session based on IP multicast membership reports ('joins') or other vendor-specific static configuration. The CmtsGrpCfg object allows for the configuration of a range of sessions through the SrcPrefixAddr and GrpPrefixAddr and SrcPrefixLen and GrpPrefixLen attributes. The CmtsGrpCfg object allows for the configuration of QoS, Encryption and PHS for multicast sessions. Cable operators can specify configuration rules for a range of multicast sessions through the tuple of (SrcPrefixAddr,SrcPrefixLen, GrpPrefixAddr, GrpPrefixLen) attributes in an entry. The QosConfigId attribute identifies the QoS rule, the EncryptionConfigId identifies the encryption rule and the PhsConfigId identifies the PHS rule for a particular entry. Even if an entry indicates a range of multicast sessions the Encryption and PHS rules are applied on a per-session basis. That is, a separate DSID is assigned to an individual multicast session from a range of multicast sessions identified by an entry in the CmtsGrpCfg object and a PHS rule (indicated by the PhsCfgId) is applied individually to each session which is identified by the DSID assigned for that session. Similarly, a separate SAID is assigned to individual multicast session from range identified by the CmtsGrpCfg object. The CmtsGrpQosConfigQosCtrl attribute from the CmtsGrpQosCfg object is used to determine if the traffic for a range of multicast sessions identified by an entry in the CmtsGrpCfg object will be transmitted in an 'Aggregate-Session' Group Service Flow or will be transmitted separately for each session using 'Single-Session' Group Service Flows. Even if the range of multicast sessions are transmitted on an 'Aggregate-Session' Group Service Flow, the PHS and Encryption rules are always applied individually to a multicast session on a per-session DSID basis prior to being transmitted on an 'Aggregate-Session' Group Service Flow (GSF). This object supports the creation and deletion of multiple instances. Creation of a new instance of this object requires the following attributes to be set RulePriority PrefixAddrType SrcPrefixAddr SrcPrefixLen GrpPrefixAddr GrpPrefixLen IpDsLow IpDsHigh IpDsMask

Each bit of this bit mask corresponds to a byte in the PhsField, with the least significant bit corresponding to the first byte of the PhsField. Each bit of the bit mask specifies whether or not the corresponding byte should be suppressed in the packet. A bit value of '1' indicates that the byte should be suppressed by the sending device and restored by the receiving device. A bit value of '0' indicates that the byte should not be suppressed by the sending device or restored by the receiving device. If the bit mask does not contain a bit for each byte in the PhsField then the bit mask is extended with bit values of '1' to be the necessary length.rw

docsMcastCmtsGrpQosCfgTableThis object configures the QoS configured for Multicast sessions replicated to any Downstream Channel Set. It does not control which particular DCSs to which the CMTS replicates a multicast session. An instance in this object is called a GQC entry. A GQC entry controls how the CMTS instantiates a Group Classifier Rule (GCR) on the DCS to match packets of the multicast session. A Group Classifier Rule (GCR) uses source and destination IP address and ToS criteria. A GQC entry controls how and with what QoS parameters a Group Service Flow (GSF) is created on a DCS. All downstream multicast packets are scheduled on a GSF. The QoS Type attribute of the GQC entry controls whether the CMTS creates one GSF for each single IP multicast session or whether the CMTS creates one GSF for the aggregate of all sessions that match the GQC criteria. The GQC instance contains a reference to a Service Class from docsIetfQosServiceClassTable. The Service Class defines the list of QoS parameters for the GSF(s) instantiated for the GQC entry. A CMTS identifies one Service Class as the Default Group QoS Service Class. The CMTS instantiates a Default Group Service Flow on each single-channel DCS based on the parameters of the Default Group QoS Service Class. The set of GCRs and GSFs instantiated on a DCS control how QoS is provided to multicast packets replicated to the DCS. For each multicast packet, the CMTS classifies the packet to the highest priority matching GCR on that DCS. The GCR refers to a single GSF, which controls the scheduling of the packets on the DCS. If the multicast packet does not match any GCR on the DCS, the packet is scheduled on the Default Group Service Flow of the DCS. The CMTS replicates unclassified multicast traffic to only DCSs consisting of a single downstream channel. Thus, the Maximum Sustained Traffic Rate QoS parameter of the Default Group Service Class limits the aggregate rate of unclassified multicast traffic on each downstream channel. The CMTS is expected to instantiate GCRs and GSFs controlled by the entries in this table only for the duration of replication of the multicast sessions matching the entry. This object supports the creation of multiple instances. Creation of new instances of this object require the following objects to be set: ServiceClassName QosCtrl AggSessLimit

docsMcastCmtsReplSessTableThis object describes the replication of IP Multicast sessions onto the different Downstream Channel Sets of a CMTS. Each DCS may be either a single downstream channel or a bonding group of multiple downstream channels. Each IP Multicast session is identified by a combination of IP source and IP Destination group address '(S,G). The CMTS replicates each IP packet in an (S,G) session onto one or more Downstream Channel Sets (DCSs), each of which is implemented in a MAC Domain. The CMTS assigns each replication a Downstream Service ID (DSID) that is unique per MAC Domain.

docsMcastDsidPhsTableThis object reports the set of DSID-Indexed PHS rules that are signaled between the CMTS and CMs as part of the Multicast Sessions setup. The attributes PhsMask, PhsSize and PhsVerify comes from the configuration object CmtsGrpPhsCfg. The value of the PhsField attribute is derived by the CMTS from the CmtsGrpCfg object parameters, and possibly other IP header informaton of the multicast session that the CMTS is capable of knowning prior to the multicast session setup. In cases where the PhsSize is longer than the CMTS knowledge of IP/TCP header fields, the CMTS extends the PhsMask with bits set to 0 until reaching the equivalent PhsSize value.
