PIM DR Improvement
draft-ietf-pim-dr-improvement-03.txt
Abstract
PIM is widely deployed multicast protocol. PIM protocol is defined
in [RFC4601] and [RFC7761]. As deployment for PIM protocol growing
day by day, user expect least traffic loss and fast convergence in
case of any network failure. This document provides extension to
existing defined protocol which would improve stability of PIM
protocol with respect to traffic loss and convergence time when the
PIM DR is down.

1. Introduction
Multicast technology is used widely. Many modern technology use PIM
technology, such as IPTV, Net-Meeting, and so on. There are many
events that will influence the quality of multicast services. The
change of unicast routes will cause the lost of multicast packets.
The change of DR cause the lost of multicast packets too.
When a DR on a share-media LAN is down, other routers will elect a
new DR until the expiration of Hello-Holdtime. The default value of
Hello-Holdtime is 105 seconds. Although the value of Hello-Holdtime
can be changed by manual, when the DR is down, there are still many
multicast packets will be lost. The quality of IPTV and Net-Meeting
will be influenced.
