Chapter 8 MSDP Configuration
8-13
When a new MSDP peer is created, or when a previously deactivated MSDP peer
connection is reactivated, or when a previously failed MSDP peer attempts to resume
operation, a TCP connection is required. You can flexibly adjust the interval between
MSDP peering connection retries.
Follow these steps to configure MSDP peer connection control:

8.5 Configuring SA Messages Related Parameters
8.5.1 Configuration Prerequisites
Before configuring SA message delivery, complete the following tasks:
z
Configure any unicast routing protocol so that all devices in the domain are
interoperable at the network layer.
z
Configuring basic functions of MSDP
Before configuring SA message delivery, prepare the following data:
z
ACL as a filtering rule for SA request messages
z
ACL as an SA message creation rule
z
ACL as a filtering rule for receiving or forwarding SA messages
z
Minimum TTL value of multicast packets encapsulated in SA messages
z
Maximum SA message cache size
8.5.2 Configuring SA Message Content
Some multicast sources send multicast data at an interval longer than the aging time of
(S, G) entries. In this case, the source-side DR has to encapsulate multicast data
packet by packet in register messages and send them to the source-side RP. The
source-side RP transmits the (S, G) information to the remote RP through SA
messages. Then the remote RP joins the source-side DR and builds an SPT. Since the
(S, G) entries have timed out, remote receivers can never receive the multicast data
from the multicast source.
If the source-side RP is enabled to encapsulate register messages in SA messages,
when there is a multicast packet to deliver, the source-side RP encapsulates a register
