Deering and Ahmed Helmy}, title = {{Protocol Independent Multicast Version 2 Dense Mode Specification}}, pagetotal = 18, year = 1999, month = jun, day = 8, abstract = {This specification defines a multicast routing algorithm efficient for multicast groups that are densely distributed across a network. This protocol does not have a topology discovery mechanism often used by a unicast routing protocol. It employes the same packet formats sparse- mode PIM {[}PIMSM{]} uses. This protocol is called dense-mode PIM. The foundation of this design was largely built on Deering's early work on IP multicast routing {[}Deering91{]}.}, }
