Abstract
PIM Flooding Mechanism is a generic PIM message exchange mechanism that allows multicast information to be exchanged between PIM routers hop-by-hop. One example is PIM Flooding Mechanism and Source Discovery which allows last hop routers to learn about new sources using PFM messages, without the need for initial data registers, RPs or shared trees. This document defines a new TLV for announcing sources that allows for Sub-TLVs that can be used for providing various types of information. This document also defines methodologies that enhance forwarding efficiency in PFM-SD deployments.
