Prerequisites for
IPv6 Multicast
The following are the prerequisites for IPv6 PIM source-specific
multicast (SSM):
Multicast
Listener Discovery (MLD) version 2 is required for source-specific multicast
(SSM) to operate.
Before
configuring SSM with MLD, SSM must be supported by the Cisco IPv6 device, the
host where the application is running, and the application itself.
Restrictions for
IPv6 Multicast
The supported IPv6
scale for the default templates for multicast routes is 500.
The router does
not support :
IPv6 Multicast
Listener Discovery (MLD) snooping
Bootstrap Router
(BSR)
Multiprotocol
BGP Extensions for multicast
Equal Cost
Multipath (ECMP) for multicast
Multicast
Virtual Private Network (MVPN)
Multicast QoS
Dynamic Domain
Name System (DNS) PIM Source Specific Multicast (SSM) mapping for multicast
Multicast Source
Discovery Protocol (MSDP)
Note
The Multicast
control packets are
not
processed when the system memory utilization is more than 90 %. The following
message is displayed on the console.
*Sep 18 18:21:07.287: %SYS-2-NOMEMORY: No memory available for multicast control packets, dropping multicast control packets.
Memory usage percentage: 91
The system
memory utilization may increase when the number of multicast sources and IGMP
reports join rate is increased. When 90% of the system memory is used, the IGMP
reports are
not
processed and multicast may not function as expected. For the multicast reports
to be processed again, decrease the join rate.
Information About IPv6 Multicast
IPv6 Multicast Routing Implementation
Cisco software supports the following protocols to implement IPv6 multicast routing:
MLD is used by IPv6 devices to discover multicast listeners (nodes that want to receive multicast packets destined for specific
multicast addresses) on directly attached links. 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 Cisco software uses both MLD version 2 and MLD version 1. MLD version 2 is fully backward-compatible with
MLD version 1 (described in RFC 2710). Hosts that support only MLD version 1 will interoperate with a device running MLD version
2. Mixed LANs with both MLD version 1 and MLD version 2 hosts are likewise supported.
PIM-SM is used between devices so that they can track which multicast packets to forward to each other and to their directly
connected LANs.
PIM in Source Specific Multicast (PIM-SSM) is similar to PIM-SM with the additional ability to report interest in receiving
packets from specific source addresses (or from all but the specific source addresses) to an IP multicast address.
The figure below shows where MLD and PIM-SM operate within the IPv6 multicast environment.
Figure 1. IPv6 Multicast Routing Protocols Supported for IPv6
Protocol Independent Multicast
Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) is used between devices so that they can track which multicast packets to forward to
each other and to their directly connected LANs. PIM works independently of the unicast routing protocol to perform send or
receive multicast route updates like other protocols. Regardless of which unicast routing protocols are being used in the
LAN to populate the unicast routing table, Cisco IOS PIM uses the existing unicast table content to perform the Reverse Path
Forwarding (RPF) check instead of building and maintaining its own separate routing table.
You can configure IPv6 multicast to use either a PIM- Sparse Mode (SM) or PIM-Source Specific Multicast (SSM) operation,
or you can use both PIM-SM and PIM-SSM together in your network.
PIM-Sparse Mode
IPv6 multicast provides support for intradomain multicast routing using PIM-SM. PIM-SM uses unicast routing to provide reverse-path
information for multicast tree building, but it is not dependent on any particular unicast routing protocol.
PIM-SM is used in a multicast network when relatively few devices are involved in each multicast and these devices do not
forward multicast packets for a group, unless there is an explicit request for the traffic. PIM-SM distributes information
about active sources by forwarding data packets on the shared tree. PIM-SM initially uses shared trees, which requires the
use of an RP.
Requests are accomplished via PIM joins, which are sent hop by hop toward the root node of the tree. The root node of a tree
in PIM-SM is the RP in the case of a shared tree or the first-hop device that is directly connected to the multicast source
in the case of a shortest path tree (SPT). The RP keeps track of multicast groups and the hosts that send multicast packets
are registered with the RP by that host’s first-hop device.
As a PIM join travels up the tree, devices along the path set up multicast forwarding state so that the requested multicast
traffic will be forwarded back down the tree. When multicast traffic is no longer needed, a device sends a PIM prune up the
tree toward the root node to prune (or remove) the unnecessary traffic. As this PIM prune travels hop by hop up the tree,
each device updates its forwarding state appropriately. Ultimately, the forwarding state associated with a multicast group
or source is removed.
A multicast data sender sends data destined for a multicast group. The designated router (DR) of the sender takes those data
packets, unicast-encapsulates them, and sends them directly to the RP. The RP receives these encapsulated data packets, de-encapsulates
them, and forwards them onto the shared tree. The packets then follow the (*, G) multicast tree state in the devices on the
RP tree, being replicated wherever the RP tree branches, and eventually reaching all the receivers for that multicast group.
The process of encapsulating data packets to the RP is called registering, and the encapsulation packets are called PIM register
packets.
Designated Router
Cisco devices use
PIM-SM to forward multicast traffic and follow an election process to select a
designated device when there is more than one device on a LAN segment.
The designated router
(DR) is responsible for sending PIM register and PIM join and prune messages
toward the RP to inform it about active sources and host group membership.
If there are multiple
PIM-SM devices on a LAN, a DR must be elected to avoid duplicating multicast
traffic for connected hosts. The PIM device with the highest IPv6 address
becomes the DR for the LAN unless you choose to force the DR election by use of
theipv6pimdr-priority command. This command allows you to
specify the DR priority of each device on the LAN segment (default priority =
1) so that the device with the highest priority will be elected as the DR. If
all devices on the LAN segment have the same priority, then the highest IPv6
address is again used as the tiebreaker.
The figure below
illustrates what happens on a multiaccess segment. Device A and Device B are
connected to a common multiaccess Ethernet segment with Host A as an active
receiver for Group A. Only Device A, operating as the DR, sends joins to the RP
to construct the shared tree for Group A. If Device B was also permitted to
send (*, G) joins to the RP, parallel paths would be created and Host A would
receive duplicate multicast traffic. Once Host A begins to source multicast
traffic to the group, the DR’s responsibility is to send register messages to
the RP. If both devices were assigned the responsibility, the RP would receive
duplicate multicast packets and result in wastage of bandwidth.
Figure 2. Designated Router Election on
a Multiaccess Segment
If the DR should
fail, the PIM-SM provides a way to detect the failure of Device A and elect a
failover DR. If the DR (Device A) became inoperable, Device B would detect this
situation when its neighbor adjacency with Device A timed out. Because Device B
has been hearing MLD membership reports from Host A, it already has MLD state
for Group A on this interface and would immediately send a join to the RP when
it became the new DR. This step reestablishes traffic flow down a new branch of
the shared tree via Device B. Additionally, if Host A were sourcing traffic,
Device B would initiate a new register process immediately after receiving the
next multicast packet from Host A. This action would trigger the RP to join the
SPT to Host A via a new branch through Device B.
Tip
Two PIM devices are
neighbors if there is a direct connection between them. To display your PIM
neighbors, use the
showipv6pimneighbor command in privileged EXEC mode.
Note
The DR election
process is required only on multiaccess LANs.
Rendezvous Point
IPv6 PIM provides
embedded RP support. Embedded RP support allows the device to learn RP
information using the multicast group destination address instead of the
statically configured RP. For devices that are the RP, the device must be
statically configured as the RP.
The device searches
for embedded RP group addresses in MLD reports or PIM messages and data
packets. On finding such an address, the device learns the RP for the group
from the address itself. It then uses this learned RP for all protocol activity
for the group. For devices that are the RP, the device is advertised as an
embedded RP must be configured as the RP.
To select a static RP
over an embedded RP, the specific embedded RP group range or mask must be
configured in the access list of the static RP. When PIM is configured in
sparse mode, you must also choose one or more devices to operate as an RP. An
RP is a single common root placed at a chosen point of a shared distribution
tree and is configured statically in each box.
PIM DRs forward data
from directly connected multicast sources to the RP for distribution down the
shared tree. Data is forwarded to the RP in one of two ways:
Data is
encapsulated in register packets and unicast directly to the RP by the
first-hop device operating as the DR.
If the RP has
itself joined the source tree, it is multicast-forwarded per the RPF forwarding
algorithm described in the PIM-Sparse Mode section.
The RP address is
used by first-hop devices to send PIM register messages on behalf of a host
sending a packet to the group. The RP address is also used by last-hop devices
to send PIM join and prune messages to the RP to inform it about group
membership. You must configure the RP address on all devices (including the RP
device).
A PIM device can be
an RP for more than one group. Only one RP address can be used at a time within
a PIM domain for a certain group. The conditions specified by the access list
determine for which groups the device is an RP.
IPv6 multicast
supports the PIM accept register feature, which is the ability to perform
PIM-SM register message filtering at the RP. The user can match an access list
or compare the AS path for the registered source with the AS path specified in
a route map.
PIM Shared Tree and Source Tree (Shortest-Path Tree)
By default, members of a group receive data from senders to the group across a single data distribution tree rooted at the
RP. This type of distribution tree is called shared tree or rendezvous point tree (RPT), as illustrated in the figure below.
Data from senders is delivered to the RP for distribution to group members joined to the shared tree.
Figure 3. Shared Tree and Source Tree (Shortest Path Tree)
If the data threshold warrants, leaf devices on the shared tree may initiate a switch to the data distribution tree rooted
at the source. This type of distribution tree is called a shortest path tree or source tree. By default, the software switches
to a source tree upon receiving the first data packet from a source.
The following process details the move from shared tree to source tree:
Receiver joins a group; leaf Device C sends a join message toward the RP.
RP puts the link to Device C in its outgoing interface list.
Source sends the data; Device A encapsulates the data in the register and sends it to the RP.
RP forwards the data down the shared tree to Device C and sends a join message toward the source. At this point, data may
arrive twice at Device C, once encapsulated and once natively.
When data arrives natively (unencapsulated) at the RP, the RP sends a register-stop message to Device A.
By default, receipt of the first data packet prompts Device C to send a join message toward the source.
When Device C receives data on (S, G), it sends a prune message for the source up the shared tree.
RP deletes the link to Device C from the outgoing interface of (S, G).
RP triggers a prune message toward the source.
Join and prune messages are sent for sources and RPs. They are sent hop-by-hop and are processed by each PIM device along
the path to the source or RP. Register and register-stop messages are not sent hop-by-hop. They are sent by the designated
router (DR) that is directly connected to a source and are received by the RP for the group.
Reverse Path
Forwarding
Reverse-path
forwarding is used for forwarding multicast datagrams. It functions as follows:
If a device
receives a datagram on an interface it uses to send unicast packets to the
source, the packet has arrived on the RPF interface.
If the packet
arrives on the RPF interface, a device forwards the packet out the interfaces
present in the outgoing interface list of a multicast routing table entry.
If the packet
does not arrive on the RPF interface, the packet is silently discarded to
prevent loops.
PIM uses both source
trees and RP-rooted shared trees to forward datagrams; the RPF check is
performed differently for each, as follows:
If a PIM device
has source-tree state (that is, an (S, G) entry is present in the multicast
routing table), the device performs the RPF check against the IPv6 address of
the source of the multicast packet.
If a PIM device
has shared-tree state (and no explicit source-tree state), it performs the RPF
check on the RP’s address (which is known when members join the group).
Sparse-mode PIM uses
the RPF lookup function to determine where it needs to send joins and prunes.
(S, G) joins (which are source-tree states) are sent toward the source. (*, G)
joins (which are shared-tree states) are sent toward the RP.
Note
To do a RPF check, use the
show ipv6 rpf hostname or
show ipv6 rpf vrf vrf_name hostname command.
IPv6 Multicast: PIM Sparse
Mode
IPv6 multicast provides support for intradomain multicast routing using
PIM sparse mode (PIM-SM). PIM-SM uses unicast routing to provide reverse-path
information for multicast tree building, but it is not dependent on any
particular unicast routing protocol.
IPv6 PIM Passive
Mode
A device configured
with PIM will always send out PIM hello messages to all interfaces enabled for
IPv6 multicast routing, even if the device is configured not to accept PIM
messages from any neighbor on the LAN.
IPv6 Multicast: PIM
Source-Specific Multicast
The PIM source-specific multicast (SSM) routing protocol supports SSM
implementation and is derived from PIM-SM. However, unlike PIM-SM data from all
multicast sources are sent when there is a PIM join, the SSM feature forwards
datagram traffic to receivers from only those multicast sources that the
receivers have explicitly joined, thus optimizing bandwidth utilization and
denying unwanted Internet broadcast traffic.
IPv6 Source Specific Multicast Mapping
SSM mapping for IPv6 supports both static and dynamic Domain Name System (DNS) mapping for MLD version 1 receivers. This
feature allows deployment of IPv6 SSM with hosts that are incapable of providing MLD version 2 support in their TCP/IP host
stack and their IP multicast receiving application. SSM mapping allows the device to look up the source of a multicast MLD
version 1 report either in the running configuration of the device or from a DNS server. The device can then initiate an (S,
G) join toward the source.
Selective Packet
Discard
Selective Packet
Discard (SPD) is a mechanism to manage the process level input queues on the
Route Processor (RP). When the router receives bursty traffic, it cannot handle
all packets. The input queue is maintained by the hardware interfaces and
shared amongst all the sub interfaces. The default input queue size is 75 and
is configured per interface using the
hold-queue
length
{in| out] command in interface configuration mode. If
SPD is not configured, all packets are dropped if the input queue is full when
the packet is received.
All packets processed
by the router CPU through process switching are queued in the interface input
queue. Packets are queued until the queue reaches its maximum length and then
additional packets are indiscriminately tail dropped. SPD provides intelligent
handling of packets in this queue.
SPD provides
preferential treatment during congestion of this interface-to-process-switching
queue. As MLD packets fall in the low priority they get dropped during the
congestion. To avoid the drops in MLD control packets, increase the below
threshold values using the following commands.
ipv6 spd queue max-threshold
ipv6 spd queue min-threshold
Use the
hold-queue
length
in command on the interfaces to receive the MLD
packets.
How to Configure IPv6 Multicast
Enabling IPv6 Multicast Routing
IPv6 multicast uses MLD version 2. This version of MLD is fully backward-compatible with MLD version 1 (described in
RFC 2710). Hosts that support only MLD version 1 will interoperate with a device running MLD version 2. Mixed LANs with both MLD version
1 and MLD version 2 hosts are likewise supported.
Before you begin
You must first enable IPv6 unicast routing on all interfaces of the device on which you want to enable IPv6 multicast routing
.

IPv6 multicast routing is disabled by default when IPv6 unicast routing is enabled. IPv6 multicast-routing needs to be enabled
for IPv6 multicast routing to function.
If PIM malfunctions, or in order to verify that the expected number of PIM packets are received and sent, clear PIM traffic
counters. Once the traffic counters are cleared, you can verify that PIM is functioning correctly and that PIM packets are
being received and sent correctly.

Turning Off IPv6 PIM
on a Specified Interface
A user might want
only specified interfaces to perform IPv6 multicast and will therefore want to
turn off PIM on a specified interface.
Note
Though IOS
supports disabling PIM on an interface, this is not possible on RSP3 platform
due to caveat. Ipv6 multicast packets will still get punted to CPU even if PIM
is turned off on the interface.

Configuring IPv6 SSM
When the SSM
mapping feature is enabled, DNS-based SSM mapping is automatically enabled,
which means that the device will look up the source of a multicast MLD version
1 report from a DNS server.
You can configure
either DNS-based or static SSM mapping, depending on your device configuration.
If you choose to use static SSM mapping, you can configure multiple static SSM
mappings. If multiple static SSM mappings are configured, the source addresses
of all matching access lists will be used.
Before you begin
Note
To use
DNS-based SSM mapping, the device needs to find at least one correctly
configured DNS server to which the device can be directly attached.

Example:
Device(config-if)# no ipv6 mld router
(Optional)
Prevents the interface from processing MLD v1/v2 joins sent through it or to
prune from a group it has already joined. To enable the interface to start
receiving MLD reports again, use
ipv6 mld
router command.
Step 9
showipv6mldinterface
Example:
Device(config-if)# show ipv6 mld interface 1/0/0
(Optional)
Displays MLD information about the interface. You can use this command to
determine which interface acts as a querier.
Configuration Examples for IPv6 Multicast
Example: Enabling IPv6 Multicast Routing
The following example enables multicast routing on all interfaces and also enables multicast forwarding for PIM and MLD on
all enabled interfaces of the device.
The following example shows how to configure a device to use PIM-SM using 2001:DB8::1 as the RP. It sets the SPT threshold
to infinity to prevent switchover to the source tree when a source starts sending traffic and sets a filter on all sources
that do not have a local multicast BGP prefix.
