PIM Assert Message Packing PIM Assert Message Packing
Abstract Abstract
When PIM Sparse Mode (PIM-SM), including PIM Source-Specific When PIM Sparse Mode (PIM-SM), including PIM Source-Specific
Multicast (PIM-SSM), is used in shared LAN networks, there is often Multicast (PIM-SSM), is used in shared LAN networks, there is often
more than one upstream router. This can lead to duplicate IP more than one upstream router. This can lead to duplicate IP
multicast packets being forwarded by these PIM routers. PIM Assert multicast packets being forwarded by these PIM routers. PIM Assert
messages are used to elect a single forwarder for each IP multicast messages are used to elect a single forwarder for each IP multicast
