Specifying the MD source interface
An MTI of a VPN instance uses the IP address of the MD source interface as the source address to
encapsulate multicast packets for the VPN instance.
Configuration restrictions and guidelines
When you specify the MD source interface, follow these restrictions and guidelines:
•
Perform this task on PE devices.
•
For the PE device to obtain correct routing information, you must specify the interface used for
establishing BGP peer relationship as the MD source interface.
•
For an MD that transmits both IPv4 and IPv6 multicast packets, you must specify the same MD
source interface in MD IPv4 and IPv6 address family views.

Configuring MDT switchover parameters
In some cases, the traffic rate of the private network multicast data might fluctuate around the MDT
switchover threshold. To avoid frequent switching of multicast traffic between the default-MDT and
the data-MDT, you can specify a data-delay period and a data-holddown period.
•
MDT switchover does not take place immediately after the multicast traffic rate exceeds the
switchover threshold. It takes place after a data-delay period, during which the traffic rate must
stay higher than the switchover threshold.
