	Title           : The PIM Join Attribute Format

A Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) Join message sent by a given
node identifies one or more multicast distribution trees that that
node wishes to join.  Each tree is identified by a multicast group
address and a source address, which is possibly a "wild card".  Under
certain conditions it can be useful, when joining a tree, to specify
additional information related to the construction of the tree.
However, there is up to now no way to do so.  This document describes
a modification of the Join message that allows a node to associate
attributes with a particular tree.  The attributes are encoded in
Type-Length-Value format.
