Hi Seong

Brief explanation.

Used in hub and spoke configurations.
Configures a multiaccess WAN interface to be in nonbroadcast multiaccess
mode.
Requires pim sparse-mode on an interface.
When router receives Join, it puts the interface AND joiner in the OIL.
When Prune is received, the interface/joiner is removed from the OIL.
Recommended for Frame relay and ATM interfaces, not suitable for LAN
interfaces.

Puts an entry for every receiver on a physical or p2mp WAN interface.
This allows individual routers to send a Prune without the whole interface
being pruned.
Example below assumes Central router (RP) and 4 hub routers (192.1.1.12-5)
but only three (192.1.1.2-4) have receivers.

(*, 224.1.1.1), 00:03:23/00:00:00, RP 10.1.1.1, flags: S
  Incoming interface: Ethernet0, RPF nbr 10.1.1.1
  Outgoing interface list:
    Serial0, 192.1.1.2, Forward/Sparse, 00:00:12/00:02:48
    Serial0, 192.1.1.3, Forward/Sparse, 00:03:23/00:01:36
    Serial0, 192.1.1.4, Forward/Sparse, 00:00:48/00:02:12

See

for some fairly good examples.

Happy reading

Tom
