Figure 73 Relationship in view of geographical locations
As shown in Figure 73, for the IPv6 multicast groups with the same scope field value, the IPv6
admin-scoped zones must be geographically separated and isolated. The IPv6 global-scoped
zone includes all routers in the IPv6 PIM-SM domain. IPv6 multicast packets that do not belong to
any IPv6 admin-scoped zones are forwarded in the entire IPv6 PIM-SM domain.
In view of the scope field values
In terms of the scope field values, the scope field in an IPv6 multicast group address shows which
zone the IPv6 multicast group belongs to.
Figure 74 IPv6 multicast address format
An IPv6 admin-scoped zone with a larger scope field value contains an IPv6 admin-scoped zone
with a smaller scope field value. The zone with the scope field value of E is the IPv6 global-scoped
zone. Table 14 lists th
e possible values of the scop
e field.
