<div dir="ltr">Hello everyone,<div><br></div><div>If an MOH audio source in CM (8.6) is configured to "allow multicasting", at which point should the server actually begin sending MOH to a multicast group?</div>
<div>
<br></div><div>The reason I am asking is, I have many of my audio sources configured to allow multicasting, but on purpose I have no MRGL setup to actually use multicasting. The reason being is want the audio to continue playing so callers don't start at the beginning of the audio track every time they are placed on hold. Actually I don't care so much but my internal customers do :)</div>
<div><br></div><div>however, i'm seeing still a bunch of multicast coming from my TFTP/MOH server still going to my publisher which is on the same switch and VLAN. In fact, the majority of the traffic on that switch port is just this MOH traffic. Normally it isn't something I'm worried about, however I'm also noticing packet discards on the publisher's switchport and that IS something i'm concerned about. </div>
