Configuring IPv6 user-side multicast on a BRAS enables the BRAS to identify users and to implement user-based multicast service control and management.
Context
IPv6 user-side multicast enables the BRAS to identify users and the programs they join or leave, which help carriers better manage and control online users.
This feature is supported only on the Admin-VS.
Only the NetEngine 8000 F1A supports IPv6 user-side multicast.
User-side multicast enables a BRAS on an IPv6 network to identify users that have joined or left a multicast group, implementing user-based multicast service control and management.
IPv6 User-side multicast maintenance includes checking multicast group joining information for online users and statistics about MLD messages, and deleting statistics about MLD messages on BAS interfaces.
