[c-nsp] Multicast controls on 65xx network?

[Denton, Gregory Y.]

Folks,

            I'm wrestling an ugly beast here and very well may be overlooking an obvious "knob"...

Using Cat6509s as Switch/Routers

Given:
Multicast source on Vlan XXX attached to Switch/Router-A.
Switch/Router A and B have .1q trunk between them.
Switch/Router A and B have HSRP to <Cloud> (other hubs/pops) where MCast receivers live.
Vlan XXX exists on both A and B
Source is 1GigE pushing a 600 mbps stream
Devices on Switch/Router-B in Vlan XXX on 1GigE (or smaller) links.  (non-receiver)

Question:  Is there a control that prevents flooding on Vlan XXX at Layer2 to prevent devices in the same Vlan from getting overloaded (bit-bucket'd)
