We want to have some more space in our queue for processing incoming multicast packets, so we can process more of them without dropping them prematurely. It is useful to be able to increase this limit on higher-spec platforms that can handle more items.
For the particular use case here at Allied Telesis, we have linux running on our switches and routers, with support for the number of multicast groups being increased. Basically, this queue length affects the time taken to fully learn all of the multicast streams.
