Abstract :
This paper describes an evaluation of IPv6 multicast routers. The JGN IPv6 project has performed various evaluations and verifications of IPv6 routers. Seven (7) types of routers from six vendors were tested, for which PIM-SM was employed as an IPv6 multicast protocol for the evaluation. The evaluated items include PIM-SM interoperability, as well as detour, RP and BSR behavior. Several tests were performed on ATM and Ethernet connections. Detailed results of these verifications are shown in this report. No fatal problem was found and only a few minor issues occurred while conducting these evaluations.
