If there is no MDI table, CMM examines the CBR table for the flow and retrieves DF and MRV
information from the CBR table.

MLR Reporting
For Cisco 7600 devices CMM allows you to set a MLR threshold in packets.
DF Reporting
For both Cisco 7600 series devices and Cisco ASR 9000 series (Viking) devices, CMM allows you to set
a delay factor in milliseconds and generate a VIDEO DF HIGH event when the DF threshold is exceeded.

MRV Reporting
For both Cisco 7600 series devices and Cisco ASR 9000 series (Viking) devices, CMM allows you to set
a maximum and minimum MRV rate in millisecond percentages, and generates alerts if the maximum or
minimum MRV is exceeded:

Automated Multicast Discovery in Enterprise and Service Provider Networks
CMM 3.1 discovers complete multicast topology from a single seed device, along with the MVPN
provider and provider edge devices and VRF tables they support. Discovery bridges the provider edge
to the customer edge to create an end-to-end view of the multicast environment.

to the customer edge to create an end-to-end view of the multicast environment.
CMM discovery includes the ability to discover the routers in the service provider network by starting
with a single router in the service provider network (PE or P router) as well as discovery of the CE
routers in the Enterprise networks. Both IOS and IOS-XR based routers are supported.

Time-Based SG Polling
CMM 3.1 adds support to limit polling of specific multicast flows (identified by source and group) to a
defined time range for selected days of the week.

SG Delta Trap Changes
CMM 3.1 adds information to the SG Delta trap to indicate information about the router that has a high
PPS rate deviation and the router which has a low PPS rate deviation. This helps the user to identify the
router that has been affected.
