IPv6 PIM modes
Based on the implementation mechanism, IPv6 PIM includes the following modes:
IPv6 Protocol Independent Multicast–Dense Mode (IPv6 PIM-DM).
IPv6 Protocol Independent Multicast–Sparse Mode (IPv6 PIM-SM).
IPv6 Bidirectional Protocol Independent Multicast (IPv6 BIDIR-PIM).
IPv6 Protocol Independent Multicast Source-Specific Multicast (IPv6 PIM-SSM).
In this document, an IPv6 PIM domain refers to a network composed of IPv6 PIM devices.
