[c-nsp] Sup720, multicast bothers the CPU

Sorry if this is a newbie question, but if one would have a Sup720 RP
being overloaded by multicast packets from a connected segment, what
should one do?

The box in question does not have any multicast configuration at all.
Does this mean all multicast traffic is sent to the CPU? How would one
configure a Sup720 to not punt every multicast packet to the CPU?

The packets are somewhat strange, having fragment offset > 0 all of
them, but with a TTL of 5. I only know that they're from some kind of
video service.
