    PIM uses multicast state to make forwarding decisions. This state is represented by entries in the multicast routing table and includes (*,G) and (S,G) entries containing RPF (Reverse Path Forwarding) interface and neighbor information as well as an Outgoing Interface List (OIL). The RPF information indicates the expected upstream interface for multicast traffic, while the OIL lists interfaces with interested receivers. Together this state allows PIM to forward multicast packets only to necessary interfaces.

    What is multicast states

    PIM Sparse Mode Overview

    Explicit join model


    > Receivers join to the Rendezvous Point (RP)
    > Senders register with the RP
    > Data Flows down the shared tree and goes only to place
    that need the data from the sources

    RPF check depends on the tree type


    > For shared trees, uses RP address
    > For source trees, uses Sources address
    Pim uses the join messages ,
    In case of multicast routing routers looks source
    address

    Server
    255.2.2.2 multicast feed

    PIM RP
    1.1.1.1

    RTRB

    Router send msg pim join to RP


    With core/shared tree

    Now the router is doing the RPF


    i.e source ip address

    If this receiver shows interest


    Client

    RPF Failure

    PIM uses unicast routing to reach the RP


    RPF Failure: RtrB expecting first multicast pkt
    from RP , but if it get that pkt from the Server it
    will drop that pkt , i. e RPF failure , it will receive
    packets via RP
    Now RTRB checks its routing table , check its
    shortest path to reach the multicast source.
    Now the RPF failure path will be excepted .

    PIM Sparse Mode Overview

    Only one RP is chosen for a particular group


    RP statically configured or dynamically learned (Au
    Data forwarded based on the source state (S,G)
    If it exists , otherwise use the shared state (*,G)

    What is PIM state ?


    Describes the state of the multicast
    distribution trees as understood by the
    router at this point in the network

    PIM State (show ip mroute


    entries

    Represented by entries in the multicast routing (mroute) tab

    (*,G) and (S,G) ??


    Represented by entries in the multicast routing
    (mroute) table
    > Used to make multicast traffic forwarding
    decisions
    > Composed of (*,G) and (S,G) entries

    PIM State RPF


    Information

    Represented by entries in the multicast routing (mroute) tabl


    > Used to make multicast traffic forwarding decisions
    > Composed of (*,G) & (S,G) entries
    > Each entry contains RPF information
    - Incoming (i.g RPF) interface
    > RPF Neighbor (upstream)

    PIM State OIL


    Information

    esented by entries in the multicast routing (mroute) table


    Used to make multicast traffic forwarding decisions
    Composed of (*,G) and (S,G) entries
    Each entry contains an Outgoing interface List (OIL)
    > OIL may be NULL

    ncoming interfaces shows from where we learn (*,G) location for RP


    ) shows
    outgoing interfaces shows the interested parties. Generally (*,G) entrie
    es to The (S,G) entries , but we have other outgoing interface called OIL
