b. After a data-delay period has passed, an MDT switchover process starts. All VPN multicast
packets that have entered the public network through that PE device are not encapsulated
with the default-group address. They are encapsulated into public network multicast
packets with the data-group address. Then they are switched from the default-MDT to the
data-MDT.
For more information about MDT switchover, see
NOTE:
A VPN uniquely corresponds to an MD and an MD provides services for only one VPN, which is
called a one-to-one relationship. Such a relationship exists between VPN, MD, MTI, default-group,
and the data-group range.

PIM neighboring relationships are established between two or more directly interconnected devices
on the same subnet. As shown in
exist in MD VPN:
•
PE-P PIM neighboring relationship—Established between the public network interface on a
PE device and the peer interface on the P device over the link.
•
PE-PE PIM neighboring relationship—Established between PE devices that are in the same
VPN instance after they receive the PIM hello packets.
•
PE-CE PIM neighboring relationship—Established between a PE interface that is bound with
the VPN instance and the peer interface on the CE device over the link.
