This solution allows delivery of both IPv4 and IPv6 multicast traffic in an IP-VRF using an IPv6 multicast in the underlay network. The protocol used to build multicast trees in the underlay network is IPv6 PIM-SSM.

This feature allows PIMv4 to work with Multiprotocol BGP (MP-BGP), where IPv4 prefix routes are reachable via IPv6 next-hops.

This feature introduces hardware forwarding support of IPv4 multicast traffic over IPv4 GRE tunnel interfaces in Arista Switches. Multicast source traffic can reach the receivers which are separated by an IP cloud which is not configured for IP multicast routing by utilizing a GRE tunnel.

Multicast Only Fast Reroute (MoFRR) is a feature based on PIM sparse mode (PIM SM) protocol to minimize packet loss in a
