Does A9K not support ipv6 inter-domain multicast?

[Rps-Cheers]

HI Experts

I found Cisco ASR9K don't support MSDP.I found that Cisco A9K does not support MSDP. Does that mean that A9K does not support inter-domain multicast? Is there any other way or configuration to replace it (inter-domain multicast)?

Thanks for your response. Is there any alternative? How does a9k implement ipv6 inter-domain multicast?

embedded-RP is the IPv6 inter-domain option, so it would be router pim address-family ipv6 embedded-RP <> <>. I have not used it before myself but let me know if you run into any issues.
