http://www.mrtv.lt/media/1-4.jpg Simple multicast router configuration with MT CCR2116-12G-4S+, software version 7.14.3. Streamer Terra SDI480 is connected to the port ether1. A multicast client (PC) is connected to the sfp-sfpplus2 port. The streamer sends multicast groups 239.255.0.0/17. The PC c...

More than 6 years have passed since the request. Is it already done?

MT promissed an extended PIM functionality in the upcoming RouterOS 7 version.

We get a multicast stream with multiple groups for the RP. For example: ************************************** ip pim rp-address xx.xx.xx.xx groups: permit 239.255.12.0/24 permit 233.83.164.1 permit 233.115.185.2 permit 239.2.3.163 permit 226.0.2.16 ************************************** ip pim rp-a...

It is solved in MT OS v.6.8: What's new in 6.8rc1 (2014-Jan-02 09:46): *) bgp - don't show community 'internet' in BGP advertisements; *) ipsec - enable hardware acceleration for aes-cbc-128 + md5|sha1|sha256 aead on tilera cpus; *) ospf - fixed checksum calculation for OSPFv3 AS-external-LSAs; *) d...

Today some multicast traffic wholesale-companies use multiple groups for the RP. For example: ip pim rp-address xx.xx.xx.xx TV override ip access-list standard TV permit 239.255.12.0 0.0.0.255 permit 233.83.164.1 permit 233.115.185.2 permit 239.2.3.163 permit 226.0.2.16 ip pim rp-address yy.yy.yy.yy...

Our colleagues contacted MT and got some news:

"Hello,
thank you for contacting us regarding this issue, the problem is known,
and we are
working on it. For the mean time, if possible, use router of different
architecture as this is tile related problem.
Regards,
Janis Krumins"

I continue my monolog with myself. Today we tested RB1100AHx2, connected in the same way, with the same OS version and the same configuration. And it works! So we can conclude that the firmware (or hardware) is to blame for that. 3 pcs. of the CCR1016-12G goes back to the reseller.

It looks that people from Mikrotik do not pay attention, or ignore this really serious problem. IMHO CCR1016 and all the CCR10xx family can't be used to route multicast streams using PIM . Look here: Dear Normis! CCR1036 multicast routing (PIM-SM) same source to different interface is solved in 6.1 ...

Hello, we are cable TV company and we took a CCR1016-12G for testing. It interconnects IPTV service provider with our IP-to-QAM headend. The second output is connected to the optical ethernet network, where the customers can watch IPTV. We use PIM on the CCR1016-12G. During the testing, we found ver...

Thank you for the answers. TonyJr, we have a lot of RP. It is the routing filter similar to Cisco access-list? If so, we'd like to put this filter into the RP-->group. How can we do it? Fugère, I'm not sure that I understood your idea. Can you explain more detailed? I've read manual and found that ...

Thank you, janisk. We know, that for 1 IGMP group can be set 1 RP in the MT router. But we need to set few IGMP groups for one single RP address. How to do it using MT? Cisco router, we used before, allow that, but we want to use MT router for this purpose. If it is unresolvable, we'll return MT rou...

Hello, we bought MIKROTIK Cloud Core Router 1016-12G and try to use it for the multicast routing. Here are sources from the service provider: rp xx.xx.xx.xx permit 224.2.2.0 0.0.0.255 permit 239.255.12.0 0.0.1.255 rp yy.yy.yy.yy permit 233.136.41.0 0.0.0.255 rp zz.zz.zz.zz permit 233.83.164.1 permit...
