Dear All,
After draft-ietf-pim-sm-bsr-05.txt there is a section
----
3.5. Unicasting Bootstrap Messages to New and Rebooting
Routers
To allow new or rebooting routers to learn the RP-Set
quickly, when a
Hello message is received from a new neighbor, or a Hello
message with a
new GenID is received from an existing neighbor, one
router on the LAN
unicasts a stored copy of the Bootstrap message for each
admin scope
zone to the new or rebooting router.
(....)
--------
What is the motivation for this behaviour? With a common
bootstrap message new router also learn the RP-Set
quickly, am I right?
In my opinion when a new router placed on the LAN sends a
PIM Hello message, one router on the LAN could simply send
a bootstrap message and new router also learn the RP-Set
quickly.
Thanks in advance
Best Regards
AA
