Juniper JUNOSE 11.2.X MULTICAST ROUTING User Manual

•
No need for shared trees or RP mapping (no RP is required).
•
No need for RP-to-RP source discovery through Multicast Source Discovery Protocol
(MSDP).
•
Simplified administrative deployment; you need only configure PIM sparse mode on
all router interfaces and issue the necessary SSM commands (including specifying
MLDv2 on the receiver local area network).
•
Support for source lists; you can use source lists, supported in MLDv2, where only
specified sources send traffic to the SSM group.
In a PIM SSM–configured network, the E Series router subscribes to an SSM channel (by
means of MLDv2), announcing a desire to join group G and source S. The directly
connected PIM sparse mode router, the designated router of the receiver, sends an (S,G)
join message to its RPF neighbor for the source. For PIM SSM, the RP is not contacted in
this process by the receiver (as happens in normal PIM sparse mode operations).
Platform Considerations
For information about modules that support PIM for IPv6 multicasting on the ERX7xx
models, ERX14xx models, and the ERX310 Broadband Services Router:
•
See ERX Module Guide, Table 1, Module Combinations for detailed module specifications.
•
See ERX Module Guide, Appendix A, Module Protocol Support for information about the
modules that support PIM for IPv6 multicasting.
For information about modules that support PIM for IPv6 multicasting on the E120 and
E320 Broadband Services Routers:
•
See E120 and E320 Module Guide, Table 1, Modules and IOAs for detailed module
specifications.
•
See E120 and E320 Module Guide, Appendix A, IOA Protocol Support for information
about the modules that support PIM for IPv6 multicasting.
