Configuring IPv6 Multicast Source Registration

Within an IPv6 PIM-SM domain, the source-side DR sends register messages to the RP, and

these register messages have different IPv6 multicast source or IPv6 multicast group

addresses. You can configure a filtering rule to filter register messages so that the RP can

serve specific IPv6 multicast groups. If an (S, G) entry is denied by the filtering rule, or the

action for this entry is not defined in the filtering rule, the RP will send a register-stop message

to the DR to stop the registration process for the IPv6 multicast data.

In view of information integrity of register messages in the transmission process, you can

configure the device to calculate the checksum based on the entire register messages.

However, to reduce the workload of encapsulating data in register messages and for the sake of

interoperability, this method of checksum calculation is not recommended.

When receivers stop receiving data addressed to a certain IPv6 multicast group through the RP

(that is, the RP stops serving the receivers of that IPv6 multicast group), or when the RP

formally starts receiving register messages with IPv6 multicast data encapsulated from the IPv6

multicast source, the RP sends a register-stop message to the source-side DR. Upon receiving

this message, the DR stops sending register messages encapsulated with IPv6 multicast data

and starts a register-stop timer. When the register-stop timer expires, the DR sends a null

register message (a register message without encapsulated multicast data) to the RP. If the DR

receives a register-stop message during the register probe time, it will reset its register-stop

timer; otherwise, the DR starts sending register messages with encapsulated data again when

the register-stop timer expires.

The Register-Stop Timer is set to a random value chosen uniformly from the interval (0.5 times

register_suppression_time, 1.5 times register_suppression_time) minus register_probe_time.

Configure a filtering rule for register messages on all C-RP routers and configure them to

calculate the checksum based on the entire register messages. Configure the register

suppression time and the register probe time on all routers that may become source-side DRs.
