IPv6 multicast routing

OS10 supports the following Layer 3 IPv6 multicast features:

  • MLD—An IPv6 multicast group is an arbitrary group of receivers that want to receive a particular data stream. This group has no physical or geographical boundaries, receivers can be located anywhere on the Internet. Receivers that are interested in receiving data flowing to a particular group must join the group by signaling their local device. This signaling is achieved with the MLD protocol.
  • PIM Sparse Mode (PIM-SM)—IPv6 multicast provides support for intradomain multicast routing using PIM sparse mode (PIM-SM). PIM-SM uses unicast routing to provide reverse-path information for multicast tree building.
  • PIM Source Specific Multicast (PIM-SSM)—The PIM-SSM feature is an extension of IP multicast where datagram traffic is forwarded to receivers from only those multicast sources on which the receivers have explicitly joined.
