PIM Overview
PIM
is
designed
for
efficiently
routing
multicast
traffic
across
one
or
more
IPv4
domains.
This
has
benefits
for
application
such
as
IP
television,
collaboration,
education,
and
software
delivery,
where
a
single
source
must
deliver
content
(a
multicast)
to
a
group
of
receivers
that
span
both
wide
‐
area
and
inter
‐
domain
networks.
Instead
of
sending
a
separate
copy
of
content
to
each
receiver,
a
multicast
derives
efficiency
by
sending
only
a
single
copy
of
content
toward
its
intended
receivers.
This
single
copy
only
becomes
duplicated
when
it
reaches
the
target
domain
that
includes
multiple
receivers,
or
when
it
reaches
a
necessary
bifurcation
point
leading
to
different
receiver
domains.
PIM
is
used
by
multicast
source
stations,
client
receivers,
and
intermediary
routers
and
switches,
to
build
and
maintain
efficient
multicast
routing
trees.
PIM
is
protocol
independent;
It
collects
routing
information
using
the
existing
unicast
routing
functions
underlying
the
IPv4
network,
but
does
not
rely
on
any
particular
unicast
protocol.
For
PIM
to
function,
a
Layer
3
routing
protocol
(such
as
BGP,
OSPF,
RIP,
or
static
routes)
must
first
be
configured
on
the
switch.
PIM
‐
SM
is
a
reverse
‐
path
routing
mechanism.
Client
receiver
stations
advertise
their
willingness
to
join
a
multicast
group.
The
local
routing
and
switching
devices
collect
multicast
routing
information
and
forward
the
request
toward
the
station
that
will
provide
the
multicast
content.
When
the
join
requests
reach
the
sending
station,
the
multicast
data
is
sent
toward
the
receivers,
flowing
in
the
opposite
direction
of
the
original
join
requests.
Some
routing
and
switching
devices
perform
special
PIM
‐
SM
functions.
Within
each
receiver
domain,
one
router
is
elected
as
the
Designated
Router
(DR)
for
handling
multicasts
for
the
domain.
DRs
forward
information
to
a
similar
device,
the
Rendezvous
Point
(RP),
which
holds
the
root
tree
for
the
particular
multicast
group.
