Protocol Independent Multicast-Sparse Mode (PIM-SM)

URL:      http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2362.txt

PIM-SM is a protocol for efficiently routing to multicast groups that may span wide-area (and inter-domain) internets. It is named Protocol Independent Multicast--Sparse Mode (PIM-SM) because it is not dependent on any particular unicast routing protocol, and because it is designed to support sparse multicast groups within the network.

Keywords:            Internet, routing, multicast.
