Why Doesn't PIM Sparse Mode Work With a Static Route to an HSRP Address?

Tags:
switching

Overview Protocol-Independent Multicast (PIM) is a family of multicast routing protocols that can provide one-to-many and many-to-many distribution of data over the Internet. The "Protocol-independent" part refers to the fact that PIM does not include its own topology discovery mechanism, but instead uses routing information supplied by other traditional routing protocols such as Border Gateway Protocol (BGP). This paper explains why multicast packets are not forwarded when one configures a static route to the Hot Standby Router Protocol (HSRP) address of a Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) sparse mode neighbor.

MPLS: The icing on the networking cake?

If all packets are sent using IP, the shortest points between popular destinations can become bottlenecks making the possibility of providing time-delay sensitive services - such as video or voice - difficult.

Router holes 'threaten the internet'

In April 1997, a small Virginia internet service provider misconfigured its router, leading it to advertise that it was the best route to the entire internet. The border gateway protocol, a widely used technology for efficiently routing data...

Peter Cochrane's Uncommon Sense: Circuit or packet, clean or dirty?

For non-real time applications such as email and delayed voice and video we can use packet switching where the digital information is broken up into small packets and directed one at a time, across the planet, using any available routing at the...

IP equals new alliances - get used to it

Much of the complexity stems from MPLS routing, and customers would need to learn new routing procedures, such as Border Gateway Protocol (BGP). The widespread acceptance of internet protocol (IP) has some interesting knock-on effects.

VoIP primer: How it works - and what the jargon means

An IP packet is formed when a router chops up a stream of digital information into manageable chunks. The packets that make up the audio stream may take different routes from node to node over the network in question but and are put back into order...

Live Webcast: Telecoms 2.0 - Where is telecoms heading?

In this webcast, our panel of experts will review where we are with next generation telecoms in the UK, working through the concept of 'Telecoms 2.0': - Realising the potential of Next Generation Networks - why it isn't just about the technology? - What attributes should firms be looking for in their telco partner? - Is the relationship between telco provider and customer changing? - What things need to happen to make next generation services a reality? - You say you want the supplier to change. Do you want to change too? - What is Telecoms 2.0?

Telecom 2.0: Mind over matter

ntl:Telewest Business believes that the role of the telco is evolving. Gone are the days when it was enough to simply focus on circuits and minutes, customers now need a far higher degree of interaction and look for suppliers who will talk business solutions with them.
