•
Support for P2P/P2MP TE Links—CMM now supports the ability to run a complete multicast
trace from a source customer network, through a Point-to-Multipoint Traffic Engineering (PM2MP
TE) tunnel to the destination customer network(s). CMM 3.2 provides a new Distributed Network
Discovery/P2MP option to discover devices over P2MP TE tunnels.

•
Enhanced VidMon Support—CMM receives traps from various routers and video probes. CMM
3.2 also supports polling for specific data when cfmNotifyAlarm traps are received from VidMon
devices, and uses the collected information to generate the necessary metrics.

•
Trace Using Management IP Address—In some service provider environments, access to PIM
interface may be blocked, which affects CMM traces. With CMM 3.2, you can configure multicast
flow trace based on either the PIM neighbor address of a device or the management IP address.
