Set up traffic shaping
If you're multicasting to set-top boxes that have 10/100 Mbps interfaces on the same Gigabit Ethernet and you
notice frames are dropping, you can limit the bandwidth of the stream using traffic shaping to adapt for the lower
bandwidth set-top boxes. Only multicast streams support traffic shaping: MPEG-TS USP, MPEG-TS RTP/UDP,
and RTP/UDP.
