Summary:

Two new messages for Protocol Independent Multicast – Sparse Mode

(PIM-SM) PIM Packed Null-Register and a PIM Packed Register-Stop

message and related behaviour extensions to PIM-SM are defined.

PIM Packed Null-Register messages are sent from the first-hop

routers (called Designated Router, DR) to the Rendezvous Point

(RP) in order to enable registering more than one multicast

 sources. PIM Packed Register-Stop messages are sent from RP

to DR to indicate stopping the PIM registration process.


This document is basically ready for publication, but has nits as

>From IETF ID nits tool:

** Downref: Normative reference to an Informational RFC: RFC 3446



s/multiple PIM Null-Registers [RFC7761] and Register-Stops [RFC7761]/
multiple PIM Null-Registers and Register-Stops [RFC7761]



Flag Bit 7 in PIM common header is defined as Capability bit but in
Figure 1 and throughout the draft it is marked as P bit not as C bit

However, RFC 8736 seems to indicate that Flag Bit 7 is already
reserved as No-Forward bit in RFC 5059

So maybe another Flag bit needs to be used.
