[iptv-users] 8 port switch

[Jared Gordon]

Like I said- we've had these deployed in our live 130 channel MPEG2/4 network for several years now with no known issues.  No lab here.  ;)

Without IGMP snooping multicast will be treated as broadcast traffic, being forwarded to all ports (except the receiving one obviously), meaning a huge amount of traffic/pps in case you have multiple STBs on the switch. This could make your switch to go bonkers after a while, did you test this in your lab?

Ivo

The switches do not have IGMP snooping, but our video and PC/Data networks physically separate, so it's not a problem for us.  We have 2 ports- either on our fiber ONT's or our DSL modems, one for video, one for data.

Does those switches have IGMP snooping? If not, do you guys have any problem with multicast storms on users PCs?
