Tthe PFC3B provides hardware support for the following:
Completely switched IPv6 multicast flows
–
IPv6 PIM-Sparse Mode (PIM-SM) (S,G) forwarding
–
Multicast RPF check for IPv6 PIM-SM (S,G) traffic using the NetFlow table
–
Rate limiting of IPv6 PIM-SM (S,G) traffic that fails the multicast RPF check
–
Static IPv6 multicast routes
–
SSM Mapping for IPv6 (PIM-SSM)
–
IPv6 multicast forwarding information base (MFIB) using the NetFlow table
–
– IPv6 distributed MFIB (dMFIB) using the NetFlow table
Link-local and link-global IPv6 multicast scopes
–
Egress multicast replication with the ipv6 mfib hardware-switching command
–
Ingress interface statistics for multicast routes (egress interface statistics not available)
–
RPR redundancy mode (see
–
Ingress and egress PFC QoS (see
–
Input and output Cisco access-control lists (ACLs)
–
The PFC3B does not provide hardware support for the following:
Partially switched IPv6 multicast flows
–
PIM-SM (*,G) forwarding
–
Multicast RPF check for PIM-SM (*,G) traffic
–
Multicast helper maps
–
Site-local multicast scopes
–
– Manually configured IPv6 over IPv4 tunnels
– IPv6 multicast 6to4 tunnels
– IPv6 multicast automatic tunnels
IPv6 over GRE tunnels
–
IPv6-in-IPv6 PIM register tunnels
–
IPv6 multicast basic ISATAP tunnels
–
ISATAP tunnels with embedded 6to4 tunnels
