The EOS-4.35.1F release introduces IGMP Snooping Accelerated Software Upgrade (ASU) support. This enhancement guarantees sub second disruption to multicast forwarding services during software upgrades by ensuring IGMP Snooping remains fully operational and preserving its learned state without interruption. This is essential for highly sensitive environments like IPTV and financial institutions. ​​

PimReg Filtering provides the ability to prevent unauthorized sources and groups from registering with a rendezvous-point (RP) router.  This is accomplished by adding the unauthorized source/group to a standard access-list. When the ACL is used on the RP, the RP inspects the source information on the PIM Register packet for a match before accepting/dropping the message.
