Aggregation and prefixes filtering 1.1. End-Sites The end-sites connected to the M6Bone should at least advertise their site prefix (/48), even if IPv6 multicast is not available in the whole site. Any prefix longer than /48 will be filtered in the rest of the network. 1.2. ISPs providing an IPv6 multicast service The ISPs providing an IPv6 multicast service must perform the same (...) Jerome Durand http://www.m6bone.net/article.php3?id_article=55 2004-04-06 00:00:00 The following scheme shows the 3 different ways to connect to the M6Bone. Then, each method is described in details, with appropriate generic confirguration examples. 1 - Equipment with no MRIB support If the IPv6 unicast and IPv6 multicast topologies are different, you need to setup a router dedicated for IPv6 multicast. On the figure below, the upstream provider of the site does not provide IPv6 multicast and the site setup a tunnel to the M6Bone. As (...) Jerome Durand http://www.m6bone.net/article.php3?id_article=33 2004-04-05 14:58:41 Transporting IPv6 multicast As IPv6 multicast is almost not available in production networks for the moment, the M6Bone is a tunnel network with edge equipments supporting IPv6 multicast. The tunnels can be: IPv6 multicast over IPv6 unicast IPv6 multicast over IPv4 unicast IPv6 multicast over GRE It is possible also to carry IPv6 multicast in dedicated ATM PVCs. Multicast protocol Interdomain protocols There is no MSDP for IPv6 at that time. There is no wish to (...) Jerome Durand
