The TTL value of a state-refresh message decrements by 1 whenever it passes a router before it is
forwarded to the downstream node until the TTL value comes down to 0. In a small network, a
state-refresh message might cycle in the network. To effectively control the propagation scope of
state-refresh messages, configure an appropriate TTL value based on the network size.
Perform the following configurations on all routers in the PIM domain.

Configuring PIM-DM graft retry period
In PIM-DM, graft messages are the only type of messages that involve the acknowledgment mechanism.
In a PIM-DM domain, a router sends a graft message to an upstream router. If the router does not receive
a graft-ack message from the upstream router within the specified time, the router send new graft
messages at a configurable interval (called a graft retry period). The router will keep sending graft
messages until it receives a graft-ack message from the upstream router.
For more information about the configuration of other timers in PIM-DM, see "
