Abstract

In PIM Sparse Mode (PIM-SM) networks, PIM Null-Register messages aresent by the Designated Router (DR) to the Rendezvous Point (RP) tosignal the presence of multicast sources in the network. There areperiodic PIM Null-Registers sent from the DR to the RP to keep thestate alive at the RP as long as the source is active. The PIMNull-Register message carries information about a single multicastsource and group.

This document defines a standard to send information about multiplemulticast sources and groups in a single PIM message. This documentrefers to the new messages as the "PIM Packed Null-Register message"and "PIM Packed Register-Stop message".
