Abstract:
PIM Sparse-Mode uses a Rendezvous Point and shared trees to forward
multicast packets from new sources. Once last hop routers receive
packets from a new source, they may join the Shortest Path Tree for
the source for optimal forwarding. This draft defines a new protcol
that provides a way to support PIM Sparse Mode (SM) without the need
for PIM registers, RPs or shared trees. Multicast source information
is flooded throughout the multicast domain using a new generic PIM
flooding mechanism. This allows last hop routers to learn about new
sources without receiving initial data packets.
