Setting the maximum size of each join or prune message
The loss of an oversized join or prune message might result in loss of massive information. You can set a
small value for the size of each join or prune message to reduce the impact.

Enabling BFD for IPv6 PIM
IPv6 PIM uses hello messages to elect a DR for a shared-media network. The elected DR is the only
multicast forwarder on the shared-media network.
If the DR fails, a new DR election process will start after the DR is aged out. However, it might take a long
period of time before other routers detect the link failures and trigger a new DR election. To start a new
DR election process immediately after the original DR fails, you can enable BFD for IPv6 PIM on a
shared-media network to detect failures of the links among IPv6 PIM neighbors.
You must enable BFD for IPv6 PIM on all IPv6 PIM-capable routers on a shared-media network, so that the
IPv6 PIM neighbors can fast detect DR failures and start a new DR election process. For more information
about BFD, see High Availability Configuration Guide.
Before you configure this feature on an interface, be sure to enable IPv6 PIM-DM or IPv6 PIM-SM on the
interface.
