Figure 40 IPv6 multicast data transmission through a tunnel
As shown in Figure 40, with a tunnel established between the multicast routers Switch A and Switch B,
Switch A encapsulates the IPv6 multicast data in unicast IPv6 packets, and forwards them to Switch B
across the tunnel through unicast routers. Then, Switch B strips off the unicast IPv6 header and continues
to forward the IPv6 multicast data down toward the receivers.
