PIM DR Improvement

Abstract
Protocol Independent Multicast - Sparse Mode (PIM-SM) is widely
deployed multicast protocol. As deployment for PIM protocol is
growing day by day, user expects lower traffic loss and faster
convergence in case of any network failure. This document provides
an extension to the existing protocol which would improve the
stability of the PIM protocol with respect to traffic loss and
convergence time when the PIM DR role changes.

1. Introduction
Multicast technology is used widely. Many modern technologies, such
as IPTV, Net-Meeting, use PIM-SM to facilitate multicast service.
There are many events that will influence the quality of multicast
services. Like the change of unicast routes, the change of the PIM-
SM DR may cause the loss of multicast packets too.
After a DR on a shared-media LAN goes down, other routers will elect
a new DR after the expiration of Hello-Holdtime. The default value
of Hello-Holdtime is 105 seconds. Although the minimum Hello
interval can be adjusted to 1 second, the Hello-Holdtime is 3.5 times
Hello interval. Thus, the detection of DR Down event cannot be
