IPv6 Multicast Routing Management
IPv6 multicast routing management enables a system to maintain multiple IPv6 multicast routing protocols and control multicast routing and forwarding by exchanging messages between the control plane and the forwarding plane.
- Overview of IPv6 Multicast Routing Management
IPv6 multicast routing and forwarding are based on IPv6 multicast routing and forwarding tables. IPv6 multicast routing and forwarding control are implemented based on multicast routing management. - Configuring IPv6 Multicast Load Splitting
IPv6 multicast load splitting is applicable to the scenario where multiple equal-cost IPv6 unicast routes of the same type exist. If multiple equal-cost routes exist on a network, IPv6 multicast load splitting can be performed for multicast traffic based on different policies. This optimizes network traffic transmission in the case of multiple IPv6 multicast data flows. - Controlling the IPv6 Multicast Forwarding Range
Multicast data for each multicast group on an IPv6 network needs to be transmitted in a certain range. You can control the IPv6 multicast forwarding range by setting a minimum TTL value for IPv6 multicast packets or an IPv6 multicast forwarding boundary. - Configuring IPv6 Multicast Multi-Topologies
With multicast multi-topologies, IPv6 multicast services can run in a specified topology, which isolates IPv6 multicast services from unicast services. - Disabling Soft Forwarding for IPv6 Multicast Packets
Disabling soft forwarding for multicast packets on a multicast router prevents packet loss and disorder. - Configuring the Maximum Number of Invalid IPv6 Multicast Protocol
Packets that a Device Can Store
This section describes how to configure the maximum number of invalid IPv6 multicast protocol packets that a device can store. This configuration helps locate and rectify faults. - Monitoring the Running Status of IPv6 Multicast Forwarding Routing
During the routine maintenance of IPv6 multicast routing management, you can run the display commands in any view to know the running of the multicast forwarding table. - Configuration Examples for IPv6 Multicast Routing
Management
This section provides an example for configuring IPv6 multicast load splitting.
