Does 802.1q under C-Vlan affect Flooding method?

Hi, Just want to ask your inputs on below scenario.

Sample TOpology:

SiteA ----(ProviderA)-----(ProviderB)-----SiteB

Site a sending unicast and multicast traffic.

Issue - Traffic not being sent to SW2 pointing Site B. (primary traffic is multicast)

#sh int g1/1

  30 second input rate 1179 bits/sec, 1283 packets/sec

  30 second output rate 0 bits/sec, 0 packets/sec

  1. At first SiteA sending untagged frames to Partner to Provider to Site B which has no issue. but when they tried sending tagged frames to Site B, seems like switch not sending any traffic to Site B.

Q: Do you think it affects the frames being sent to site B? Since QinQ is applied on SW01, additional header has been inserted so i think C-Tag will not affect this?

  1. In the scenario of flooding method like unicast,multicast & broadcast, does the above mentioned scenario affect the behaviour of the flooding mechanism?

#sh int g1/1

Received 0 broadcasts (0 IP multicasts) <- based on the interface output of switch2, broadcast and multicast is not increasing. (Note that the primary traffic of this list is multicast.)

  1. From RT VC statistics(Pointing to SW2)

VC statistics:

    transit packet totals: receive 23901162939, send 111031102 <- Increasing

    transit byte totals:   receive 32752316549739, send 14447377651 <- Increasing

    transit packet drops:  receive 4417, seq error 0, send 0 <- Not Increasing

  1. If MTU take place, both RTR and SW configured more than the default value.

  1. From show interface what is the difference between 2 multicast output?

Received 0 broadcasts (0 IP multicasts) <--- Multicast here?

     0 runts, 0 giants, 0 throttles

     0 input errors, 0 CRC, 0 frame, 0 overrun, 0 ignored

     0 watchdog, 19625 multicast, 0 pause input <--- Multicast here?

What verification do you think should be done? Any idea?

Thanks
