Abstract

On a multi-access network, one of the PIM-SM (PIM Sparse Mode)routers is elected as a Designated Router. One of theresponsibilities of the Designated Router is to track local multicastlisteners and forward data to these listeners if the group isoperating in PIM-SM. This document specifies a modification to thePIM-SM protocol that allows more than one of the PIM-SM routers totake on this responsibility so that the forwarding load can bedistributed among multiple routers.
