IPv6 Neighbor Discovery of MTU packets

With FTOS 8.3.1.0, you can set the MTU advertised through the RA packets to incoming routers, without

altering the actual MTU setting on the interface. The

FTOS IPv6 supports quality of service based on DSCP field. You can configure FTOS to honor the DSCP

value on incoming routed traffic and forward the packets with the same value.

is supported on platforms

FTOS supports the following protocols to implement IPv6 multicast routing:

Multicast Listener Discovery Protocol (MLD). MLD on a multicast router sends out periodic general

MLD queries that the switch forwards through all ports in the VLAN. There are two versions of MLD:

MLD version 1 is based on version 2 of the Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) for IPv4;

MLD version 2 is based on version 3 of the IGMP for IPv4. IPv6 multicast for FT O S supports versions

PIM-SM. Protocol-Independent Multicast-Sparse Mode (PIM-SM) is a multicast protocol in which

multicast receivers explicitly join to receive multicast traffic. The protocol uses a router as the root or

Rendezvous Point (RP) of the share tree distribution tree to distribute multicast traffic to a multicast

group. Messages to join the multicast group (Join messages) are sent towards the RP and data is sent

from senders to the RP so receivers can discover who are the senders and begin receiving traffic

destined to the multicast group.

PIM in Source Specific Multicast (PIM-SSM). PIM-SSM protocol is based on the source specific

model for forwarding Multicast traffic across multiple domains on the Internet. It is restricted to

shortest path trees (SPTs) to specific sources described by hosts using MLD. PIM-SSM is essentially a

subset of PIM-SM protocol, which has the capability to join SPTs. The only difference being register

states and shared tree states for Multicast groups in SSM range are not maintained. End-hosts use

MLD to register their interest in a particular source-group (S,G) pair . PIM-SSM protocol interacts with

MLD to construct the multicast forwarding tree rooted at the source S.
