PIM Sparse-Mode use a Rendezvous Point (RP) and shared trees to
forward multicast packets to Last Hop Routers (LHR). After the first
packet is received by the LHR, the source of the multicast stream is
learned and the Shortest Path Tree (SPT) can be joined. This draft
proposes a solution to support PIM Sparse Mode (SM) without the need
for PIM registers, RPs or shared trees. Multicast source information
is distributed via Bootstrap Router [RFC5059] messages and flooded
throughout the Multicast domain. By removing the need for RPs and
shared trees, the PIM-SM procedures are simplified, improving router
operations, management and making the protocol more robust.
