About IPv6 multicast routing and forwarding

Each IPv6 multicast routing protocol has its own routing table. Multicast routing information in routing entries generated by the IPv6 multicast routing protocols are summarized in a set of (S, G) and (*, G) entries. All the (S, G) and (*, G) entries form a general IPv6 multicast routing table. The optimal IPv6 multicast routing entries in the general IPv6 multicast routing table are added to the IPv6 multicast forwarding table to guide IPv6 multicast data forwarding.
