CHAPTER 7
Configuring PIM for IPv6 Multicast
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
