Lesson 232-Workbook-Stamped

The document compares different PIM (Protocol Independent Multicast) modes: ASM (Any Source Multicast), SSM (Source Specific Multicast), and Bidir (Bidirectional PIM) based on various design concerns such as scalability, suitability for applications, optimal traffic flow, and resource requirements. PIM ASM is suitable for one-to-many applications but has moderate scalability, while PIM SSM is less resource-intensive but less flexible, and PIM Bidir is optimal for many-to-many applications with the best resource efficiency. Each mode has its own advantages and disadvantages in terms of complexity, security, and troubleshooting ease.

Design Concern PIM - ASM/Any Source Multicast PIM - SSM/Source Specific Multicast PIM - Bidir/Bidirectional PIM

Moderate since the routers keep (S,G) state after Worst. Routers have to keep every source-multicast group Very scalable since the flows always on shared tree
SPT transition. Even before Shortest Path Tree pair state in the multicast routing table. Thus SSM which means routers only keep (*,G) multicast entry
transition, always Shortest Parth Tree is created consumes a lot of router resources and sitatution get in their multicast routing table. That’s why it is used
Scalablability between Sources and RPs worse if there are more source and multople groups in many to many application design.
Not so suitable, PIM Bidir is designed for many to
many multicast application traffic. Sender and
It is suitable but Randevous Points Engineering is a Best.It is designed for One to Many applications. Source Receiver both can send and receive multicast traffic
disadvantage. IPTV is one of the one to many address information should be known by the receivers at the same time. It is best for many to many
Suitable for One to Many Applications applications which PIM ASM can be used though application traffic pattern
Moderate.Before the SPT transition,receivers and
senders communicate through Randevous Point.
When receiver discovers the sources, they join the
shortest path tree and they don't use Randevous
Point anymore but until SPT transition traffic may Its optimal flow since source is known and IGP best path is Not good since all the traffic always have to pass
Optimal Traffic Flow flow suboptimaly used to reach to the sources through Randevous Point
Yes during SPT transition, receivers gets multiple
Duplicate Multicast Traffic coipes of same Multicast traffic No, there is no duplicate No,there is no duplicate
Fast Reroute Support Yes - IP FRR and Multicast only FRR Yes - IP FRR and Multicast only FRR Yes - IP FRR and Multicast only FRR
Less known, especially Phantom RP operation for the
Stuff Experince Well known Well known load balancing
Loop Avoidance Its done via RPF Check Its done via RPF Check Designated Forwarder is elected per subnet
Less secure since all the sources can send to any More secure because receivers specifically states which
Security multicast group source and group pair thet are interested in Less secure, same reason as the PIM ASM
Complex since it requires randevous point, Anycast Easy, it requires source information only. There is no Complex since it requires Randevous point, Phantom
RP for the Randevous point redundancy, Randevous Randevous Point in Source Specific Multicast, no RP RP for the redundancy, RP Engineering for the
Complexity point engineering for the optimal multicast routing Engineering , no Anycast RP optimal multicast routing

Moderate among other options since routers have to


keep (*,G) state between the hosts and the RP and
(S,G) state between source and the RP. (*,G) state Worst.In PIM SSM all the routers every source-group
can be thought as a summarization in the IP routing. address state. Thus it requires more memory and cpu on Best since PIM Bidir enabled routers only keep (*,G)
Resource Requirement After the SPT transition, still (S,G) state though the devices, there is no (*,G) state in PIM SSM, only (S,G) states. Only shared tree is used in Bidirectional PIM.
Troubleshooting Easy Very easy Easy
