Thanks Phil.
What about inter-domain IPv6 multicast? It's SSM, Embedded-RP, or bust?
That seems rather limiting but maybe that's how it is.
Also - if you can't really have multiple PIM domains (or can't live with
above restrictions) do you just use one gigantic PIMv6-Anycast domain? Is
that the best practice and you rely on Anycast to keep traffic "local?"
