Dear fellow networkers,
I am struggling with the strange issue during my ipv6 multicast performance analysis.
Server==== R1=====R2=====R3====receiver
I am running PIM-SM on routers (all cisco 2911) and on R3 I have given ip mld join-group <group id> source <server ip> interface command for testing (as using SSM).
This setup and configuration works fine when I use router as server (by disabling IPv6 routing and default gateway as R1 connected interface ip) and I can ping multicast group ff35::1 and able to get response from R3 ( due to join-group command). But when I use PC as server, instead of router, I am unable to get ping response when pinging multicast group ip. The setup and configuration is exactly the same, its just that everything works fine except when I swap router with pc as server.
I tried the same setup with IPv4 and everything works fine and able to got response from R3, when I ping the ipv4 multicast group ip from the windows PC as source.
Unable to understand if its PC issue or network issue, I have tried both windows and Linux machine, still the same.
Kindly advice.
Thanx a lot in advance.
Regards,
Amit
