16.4 PIM
Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) is a multicast-routing process that makes possible
dynamic routing from multicast packets. With PIM the distribution of information is regu-
lated via a central point, which is known as the rendezvous point. Data packets are initially
routed here before being made available to other recipient routers.
Multicast routing protocols differentiates between sparse mode and dense mode. In dense
mode, all packets are forwarded and only packets to groups that have been explicitly can-
celled are rejected. In sparse mode, packets are only forward to groups if they have been
ordered. Your device uses PIM in sparse mode.
