None of the counters on the CoPP are incrementing for this traffic, which I believe is due to it being multicast and thus not supported by CoPP.

Do you allow all mcast in CoPP? HW CoPP does not support mcast so it's
punted, if your software CoPP does not allow mcast it's dropped, which
means hardware shortcuts can't be programmed.
