Abstract:
Optimizations to the PIM-DM protocol [RFC3973] are proposed that
dramatically reduce the PIM-DM routing overhead on local area
networks containing large numbers of PIM routers. These
optimizations reduce the likelihood of two or more routers emitting
redundant JOIN or PRUNE messages onto the same LAN. While these
optimizations are of general applicability to large LANs, they were
motivated in particular by performance requirements for supporting
PIM-DM across LANs emulated by IP tunneling over large wireless
MANETs.
PIM-DM routers supporting these optimizations will interoperate with
standard PIM-DM as defined in RFC 3973, even on the same LAN.
However, to obtain maximum benefit from these optimizations, all
PIM-DM routers on the LAN SHOULD support them.
