Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

In most cases, the Router forwards packets based on software before the hardware forwarding is completed. After that, the forwards packets based on hardware.

Soft forwarding for multicast packets must be disabled on the router to prevent the low forwarding speed and first packet cache mechanism of soft forwarding from causing disorder of the first packet transmitted at a high speed.

Prerequisites

The multicast routing-enable command is run in the VPN instance view.
