PIM-SM

Protocol-independent multicast sparse mode (PIM-SM) is used to efficiently route multicast

traffic to multicast groups that can span wide area networks where bandwidth is a constraint.

Figure 46. PIM-SM

PIM-SM uses shared trees by default and implements source-based trees for efficiency; it

assumes that no hosts want the multicast traffic unless they specifically ask for it. It creates a

shared distribution tree centered on a defined rendezvous point (RP). Traffic from this source

is relayed to the receivers. Senders first send the multicast data to the RP, which in turn

sends the data down the shared tree to the receivers. Shared trees centered on an RP do not

necessarily provide the shortest, most optimal path. In such cases PIM-SM provides a means

to switch to more efficient source-specific trees. A data threshold rate is defined for toggling
