Relationship with OIF Mapping

Multicast OIF mapping enables the router to decrease the inefficiencies associated with replicating streams of multicast traffic. Using OIF maps, MLD joins that the router receives on a subscriber interface can be mapped to a special interface for forwarding.

The hardware multicast packet replication feature enables you to redirect each of the IPv6 interfaces on a line module over a dedicated multicast VLAN to a single IPv6 interface over port 8. The FC is only required to send a single packet per dedicated multicast VLAN to the I/O module or IOA. The module then replicates this packet to the appropriate ports.

For more information about configuring OIF mapping, see Configuring Group Outgoing Interface Mapping in Configuring Multicast Listener Discovery .
