PIM snooping and IPv6 PIM snooping

PIM snooping and IPv6 PIM snooping run on Layer 2 devices. They determine which ports are

interested in multicast data by analyzing the received IPv6 PIM messages, and add the ports to a

multicast forwarding entry to make sure that multicast data can be forwarded to only the ports that

are interested in the data.

•

Multicast VLAN and IPv6 multicast VLAN

In the traditional multicast-on-demand mode, when users in different VLANs on a Layer 2 device

need multicast information, the upstream Layer 3 device must forward a separate copy of the

multicast data to each VLAN of the Layer 2 device. When the multicast VLAN or IPv6 multicast

VLAN feature is enabled on the Layer 2 device, the Layer 3 multicast device sends only one copy

of multicast to the multicast VLAN or IPv6 multicast VLAN on the Layer 2 device. This approach

avoids waste of network bandwidth and extra burden on the Layer 3 device.

Multicast packet forwarding mechanism

In a multicast model, a multicast source sends information to the host group identified by the multicast

group address in the destination address field of IP multicast packets. To deliver multicast packets to

receivers located at different positions of the network, multicast routers on the forwarding paths usually

need to forward multicast packets that an incoming interface receives to multiple outgoing interfaces.

Compared with a unicast model, a multicast model is more complex in the following aspects:

•

To ensure multicast packet transmission in the network, unicast routing tables or multicast routing

tables (for example, the MBGP routing table) specially provided for multicast must be used as

guidance for multicast forwarding.

•

To process the same multicast information from different peers received on different interfaces of the

same device, every multicast packet undergoes a reverse path forwarding (RPF) check on the

incoming interface. The result of the RPF check determines whether the packet will be forwarded or

discarded. The RPF check mechanism is the basis for most multicast routing protocols to implement

multicast forwarding.

For more information about the RPF mechanism, see "

Configuring multicast routing and forwarding

and

"Configuring IPv6 multicast routing and forwarding."
