The Juniper multicast Designated Router (DR) must be configured to filter the IGMP and MLD Report messages to allow hosts to join only multicast groups that have been approved by the organization.

| Description | ||||
| Real-time multicast traffic can entail multiple large flows of data. Large unicast flows tend to be fairly isolated (i.e., someone downloading a file here or there), whereas multicast can have broader impact on bandwidth consumption, resulting in extreme network congestion. Hence, it is imperative that there is multicast admission control to restrict which multicast groups hosts are allowed to join via IGMP or MLD. | ||||

Check Text (C-254050r844262_chk)
Review the configuration of the DR to verify that it is filtering IGMP or MLD report messages, allowing hosts to join only those groups that have been approved.
Note: This requirement is only applicable to Source Specific Multicast (SSM) implementation. This requirement is not applicable to Any Source Multicast (ASM) since the filtering is being performed by the Rendezvous Point router.

If the DR is not filtering IGMP or MLD report messages, this is a finding.
Fix Text (F-57453r844182_fix)
Configure the DR to filter the IGMP and MLD report messages to allow hosts to join only those multicast groups that have been approved.
