Chiming in. Some history. Due to the complexities of ASM requirement for MSDP / RP for inter domain multicast, IPv6 for simplicity as well as lessons learned with the complexity of ASM was designed to support SSM only for inter domain multicast. Thus an MSDP extension was purposely never created for IPv6.
RFC 8815 came out last year officially deprecating ASM / MSDP for inter domain multicast with SSM replacement for inter domain multicast. https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc8815 There is a big push worldwide for operators as well as customers to migrate off ASM to SSM for OPEX savings.
