| Description | This object maintains per-CM status of Multicast
Authorization policies to be applied to this CM. The
CM acquires these policy parameters through the CM registration
process, or in the absence of some or all
of those parameters, from the Ctrl Object.
This object is meaningful when the Control Enable attribute
is set to 'enable'.
In the process of authorizing a CM client's session request
the CMTS must check rules defined in StaticSessRule
object and then rules defined in ProfileSessRule
object. In the case of multiple multicast session
matches, the rule priority attribute defines the
final selected session rule. The selection of a session
rules when multiple matches have the same priority
is vendor specific.
The CMTS MAY report in the CmtsCmStatus object CMs that
do not signal any IP Multicast Authorization Encodings
in the registration process. |
