IPATM-IPMC-MIB Table View

The objects defined in this table are used for
the management of MARS clients, ATM attached
endpoints.

This table contains a list of IP multicast group address
blocks associated with a MARS client.  Entries in this
table are used by the client that needs to receive or
transmit packets from/to the specified range of
multicast addresses.
Each row can be created or deleted via configuration.

This table contains a list of backup MARS addresses that
a client can connect to in case of failure for connecting
to the primary server. The list of addresses is in
descending order of preference. It should be noted that
the backup list provided by the MARS to the client via
the MARS_REDIRECT_MAP message has a higher preference than
addresses that are manually configured into the client.
When such a list is received from the MARS, this information
should be inserted at the top of the list.
Each row can be created or deleted via configuration.

This table contains information about open virtual
circuits (VCs) that a client has.  For point to point
circuit, each entry represents a single VC connection
between this client ATM address to another party ATM
address.  In the case of point to multipoint connection
where a single source address is associated with
multiple destinations, several entries are used to
represent the relationship.  An example of point to
multi-point VC represented in a table is shown below.
          
       Client    VPI/VCI    Grp Addr1/Addr2    Part Addr
         1         0,1          g1,g2             p1
         1         0,1          g1,g2             p2
         1         0,1          g1,g2             p3
          
Note:  This table assumes the IP multicast address
       groups (min, max) defined in each entry are
       always consecutive.  In the case of that a
       client receives a JOIN/LEAVE with
       mars$flag.punched set, each pair of the IP
       groups will first be broken into several
       pairs of consecutive IP groups before each
       entry row corresponding to a pair of IP group
       is created.

The table contains statistics collected at MARS
clients.

The objects defined in this table are used for the
management of MARS servers.

This table contains a list of IP multicast address
blocks associated with a MARS.  Entries in this table
are used by the MARS host map table and the server map
table.  They should be created prior to being referenced
as indices by those tables.
Each row can be created or deleted via configuration.

This table caches mappings between IP multicast
address to a list of ATM addresses that are
configured or dynamically learned from the MARS.
This address resolution is used for the host map.
It supports the mapping of a block of multicast
group addresses to a cluster member address.  In
the case where a group block is associated with
multiple cluster members, several entries are
used to representing the relationship.

This table caches mappings between IP multicast
address to a list of MCS ATM addresses that are
configured or dynamically learned from the MARS.
This address resolution is used for the server map.
It supports the mapping of a block of multicast
group addresses to a MCS address.  In the case
where a group block is associated with multiple
MCSs, several entries are used to representing the
relationship.

This table contains information about open virtual circuits
(VCs) that a MARS has.  For point to point circuit, each
entry represents a single VC connection between this MARS
ATM address to another party's ATM address.  In the case of
point to multipoint connection where a ControlVc is attached
with multiple leaf nodes, several entries are used  to
represent the relationship.  An example of point to
multi-point VC represented in a table is shown below.
          
     MARS     VPI/VCI    MARS Addr     Party Addr
       1         0,1         m1            p1
       1         0,1         m1            p2
       1         0,1         m1            p3

This table contains ATM identities of all the currently
registered cluster members at a MARS.  Each entry represents
one set of ATM identities associated with one cluster member
or the MARS client.

This table contains ATM identities of all the currently
registered MCSs at a MARS. Each entry represents one set
of ATM identities associated with one MCS.

The table contains statistics collected at MARS.

The objects defined in this table are used for
the management of a multicast server (MCS).

This table contains a list of IP multicast group address
blocks associated by a MARS MCS.  The MCS uses the
information contained in list to advertise its multicast
group service to the MARS.
Each row can be created or deleted via configuration.

This table contains a list of backup MARS addresses that
a MCS can make contact to in case of failure for
connecting to the primary server. The list of addresses
is in descending order of preference. It should be noted
that the backup list provided by the MARS to the MCS
via the MARS_REDIRECT_MAP message has a higher preference
than addresses that are manually configured into the MCS.
When such a list is received from the MARS, this information
should be inserted at the top of the list.
Each row can be created or deleted via configuration.

This table contains information about open virtual
circuits (VCs) that a MCS has.  For point to
point circuit, each entry represents a single VC
connection between this MCS ATM address to another
party ATM address.  In the case of point to
multipoint connection where a single source address
is associated with multiple destinations, several
entries are used to represent the relationship.  An
example of point to multi-point VC represented in a
table is shown below.
          
   MCS      VPI/VCI    Grp Addr1/Addr2    Part Addr
    1         0,1          g1,g2             p1
    1         0,1          g1,g2             p2
    1         0,1          g1,g2             p3

The table contains statistics collected at MARS MCSs.
