Regarding PIM Sparse, Dense and Sparse-Dense modes, does anyone know why the often stated design preference for sparse-dense exists?
I realise the Auto-RP requirement which is for Dense mode, would mean an otherwise sparse mode network needs to support dense. Is this the main driver for sparse-dense or is there some other technical reason? I see with software updates Auto-RP can now be supported under sparse mode only configured interfaces: ip pim autorp listener which causes the two auto-rp groups 224.0.1.39 and 224.0.1.40 to be dense mode flooded. Is there any other requirement for dense mode if the auto-rp issue is taken away? Anyone got any comments? cheers, teflon [GroupStudy removed an attachment of type image/gif] [GroupStudy removed an attachment of type Image/jpeg] Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=73108&t=73108 -------------------------------------------------- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
