Configuring an IPv6 multicast routing policy

You can configure the router to determine the RPF route based on the longest match principle. For more
information about RPF route selection, see
By configuring per-source or per-source-and-group load splitting, you can optimize the traffic delivery
when multiple IPv6 multicast data streams are handled.
To do...
1. Enter system view.
2. Configure the router to select
the RPF route based on the
longest match.
3. Configure IPv6 multicast load
splitting.

Configuring an IPv6 multicast forwarding range

IPv6 multicast packets do not travel infinitely in a network. The IPv6 multicast data of each IPv6 multicast
group must be transmitted within a definite scope.
You can configure the forwarding boundary for a specific IPv6 multicast group or an IPv6 multicast group
with the scope field in its group address being specified on all interfaces that support IPv6 multicast
forwarding. A multicast forwarding boundary sets the boundary condition for the IPv6 multicast groups in
the specified range or scope. If the destination address of an IPv6 multicast packet matches the set
boundary condition, the packet will not be forwarded. Once an IPv6 multicast boundary is configured on
an interface, this interface can no longer forward IPv6 multicast packets (including those sent from the
local router) or receive IPv6 multicast packets.
To do...
Enter system view.
1.
2. Enter interface view.
3. Configure an IPv6 multicast
forwarding boundary.

Configuring the IPv6 multicast forwarding table size

The router maintains the corresponding forwarding entry for each IPv6 multicast packet that it receives.
Excessive IPv6 multicast routing entries, however, can exhaust the router's memory and cause lower
router 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
will not be immediately deleted. Instead, the IPv6 multicast routing protocol that running on the router will
delete them. The router will no longer install new IPv6 multicast forwarding entries until the number of
existing IPv6 multicast forwarding entries comes down under the configured value.
