Configuring PIM-DM

Protocol-Independent Multicasting (PIM) provides two different modes of operation: sparse mode and dense mode. Sparse mode (SM) is designed for networks where the probability of multicast group members is low, such as the Internet. Dense mode (DM), on the other hand, is designed for networks where the probability of multicast group members is high, such as a local network.

PIM-DM is a simple multicast routing protocol that uses flood and prune to build a source-routed multicast delivery tree for each multicast source-group pair. It is simpler than DVMRP because it does not maintain it’s own routing table. Instead, it uses the routing table provided by the unicast routing protocol enabled on the router interface. When the router receives a multicast packet for a source-group pair, PIM-DM checks the unicast routing table on the inbound interface to determine if this is the
