Configuring the IPv6 multicast forwarding table size

The switch maintains the corresponding forwarding entry for each IPv6 multicast packet that it receives.

Excessive IPv6 multicast routing entries, however, can exhaust the switch’s memory and cause lower

performance. You can set a limit on the number of entries in the IPv6 multicast forwarding table based

on the actual networking situation and the performance requirements. If the configured maximum

number of IPv6 multicast forwarding table entries is smaller than the current value, the entries in excess

are not immediately deleted. Instead, the IPv6 multicast routing protocol that runs on the switch deletes

them. The switch no longer adds new IPv6 multicast forwarding entries until the number of existing IPv6

multicast forwarding entries comes down below the configured value.

When the switch forwards IPv6 multicast traffic, it replicates a copy of the IPv6 multicast traffic for each

downstream node and forwards the traffic. Each of these downstream nodes forms a branch of the IPv6

multicast distribution tree. You can configure the maximum number of downstream nodes (the maximum

number of outgoing interfaces) for a single entry in the IPv6 multicast forwarding table to lessen the

burden on the switch for replicating IPv6 multicast traffic. If the configured maximum number of

downstream nodes for a single IPv6 multicast forwarding entry is smaller than the current number, the

downstream nodes in excess are not deleted immediately. Instead, the IPv6 multicast routing protocol

deletes them. The switch no longer adds new IPv6 multicast forwarding entries for newly added

downstream nodes until the number of existing downstream nodes comes down below the configured

value.
