Usually plain PIM "multicast" means PIM-SM providing ASM service, where receivers use IGMPv1/v2 to join an any-source group like 239.1.1.1. qpimd is unable to handle any-source groups. Since qpimd only supports the SSM model, the receiver application is required to use IGMPv3 to join a source-specific channel like (S,G)=(1.1.1.1,232.1.1.1). > 2) Will it be in compient with any other PIM-SM routers… in multiple > router combinations… It will operate correctly with full PIM-SM routers, however only for delivering the SSM service. Full PIM-SM routers are able to handle the SSM service model. > 3) Will subnet’s PC node applications under qpimd router, able to see > stream media , Nasdaq live > > (Any sort of Muticast services.. or some obstacles due to not supporting > PIM-SM or IGMP1 and 2) IGMPv3 on the receiver application is required for qpimd. The application must be able to issue an IGMPv3 join to a source-specific (S,G) channel. I think the major issue usually is the receiver application ability to issue IGMPv3 source-specific joins to (S,G). If your application can't issue an IGMPv3 source-specific join, qpimd won't help you. Cheers, Everton
