Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to the communication field, in particular to a method and equipment for realizing three-layer multicast on-demand routing. Background technique
[0002] PIM (Protocol Independent Multicast) is a multicast technology that can use unicast static routing or unicast routing table generated by any unicast routing protocol to provide routing for IP (Internet Protocol, Internet Protocol) multicast .
[0003] PIM uses the RPF (Reverse Path Forwarding) mechanism to forward multicast packets. When a multicast packet arrives at the local device, it first performs an RPF check. If the RPF check passes, a corresponding multicast routing table entry is created to forward the multicast packet; if the RPF check fails, the packet is discarded. arts. Wherein, the implementation method of the RPF mechanism is: according to the address of the multicast source, search for a unicast route to the nearest next-hop outbound interface of the multicast s...
