Product Overview
Cisco
®
Multicast Manager 3.2 simplifies discovery, visualization, monitoring, management, and troubleshooting of
multicast networks to help ensure the availability of mission-critical services delivered over multicast. The Video
Operations Solution (VOS) add-on feature provides monitoring support for video probes to proactively detect poor
quality video that is being transported across an IP multicast infrastructure. The Multicast VPN (MVPN) add-on
feature gives customers the ability to manage their Virtual Route Forwarding (VRF) tables by monitoring the
service provider edge routers along with presenting on-demand views of the MVPN environment by provider edge
router or VRF table.
Cisco Multicast Manager is also part of the Cisco Video Assurance Management Solution (VAMS), which provides
a flexible end-to-end assurance management platform for video.
