Configuring PIM for IPv6 Multicast

Overview

Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) is a collection of multicast routing protocols
that enable multicast routers to identify other multicast routers that can receive
packets.
This chapter describes how to configure PIM for IPv6 multicast on the E Series router;
it contains the following sections:
