[c-nsp] huge amount of mcast traffic

A sustained 6Gps on a 10GB pipe is hard to do already, but with multicast…. Typically that large of multicast is broken up into different multicast addresses can be split on multiple lines. The burst nature of the feed is going to be an issue. Will it work, yes. Will it work well, I doubt it.

well we'll connect to 10 Gbs interface a traffic up to 6 Gbs, not on 6748 1 Gbs blades... no other issue you see ?

The 6748 blades are going to be an issue with buffer overruns. Whether this will be a minor or major issue depends on the application that uses the multicast data.

Even with fabric enable blades in the c6500, you are going to get massive output buffer overflows. Market data has very uneven traffic patterns causing microburst effects. What sup-engines/blades are on the boxes? What type of multicast replication is being used (ingress/egress). QoS policies typically make matters worse. What type of interfaces are on the 6500?
