Abstract:
A Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) router uses local forwarding
table to select the upstream PIM neighbor towards the source or
Rendezvous Point (RP). A router need to choose one upstream PIM
neighbor from the list of PIM neighbors if the route for a source or
RP is an Equal Cost Multipath (ECMP) route. Currently PIM routers
use vendor specific algorithm to choose one neighbor. This may lead
to unnecessary wastage of network resources. This draft first
explains the need for a standard algorithm to select a PIM neighbor
with ECMP route and then suggest such an algorithm.
