Configuring IPv6 PIM common timers

IPv6 PIM routers discover IPv6 PIM neighbors and maintain IPv6 PIM neighboring relationships with

other routers by periodically sending hello messages.
After receiving a hello message, an IPv6 PIM router waits a random period, which is smaller than the

maximum delay between hello messages, before sending a hello message. This avoids collisions that

occur when multiple IPv6 PIM routers send hello messages simultaneously.
An IPv6 PIM router periodically sends join/prune messages to its upstream for state update. A join/prune

message contains the join/prune timeout time. The upstream router sets a join/prune timeout timer for

each pruned downstream interface.
Any router that has lost assert election will prune its downstream interface and maintain the assert state

for a period of time. When the assert state times out, the assert loser will resume IPv6 multicast

forwarding.
When a router fails to receive subsequent IPv6 multicast data from the IPv6 multicast source S, the router

does not immediately delete the corresponding (S, G) entry. Instead, it maintains the (S, G) entry for a

period of time—namely, the IPv6 multicast source lifetime—before deleting the (S, G) entry.
