Shared Trees

18
Q

A

PIM-DM

PIM-SSM

19

A

PIM-SM

BIDIR-PIM

20
Q

What is the difference of a source tree vs shared tree?

A

Source tree has a root at a source host that branches form a spanning tree though the network

Shared tree has a single common root using a RP placed in the core of the network

21
Q

What is a shared root called?

A

Rendezvous point (RP)
