Re: when to use a multicast address-family

You mean that link is not running pim DENSE mode
or a domain is not running PIM DENSE MODE

R1------R2---------R3--------------------------R4-------------R5--
-------------------R6-------R7--------R8

   AS 123 AS 45
                AS 678

so it means like AS 123 run Pim dense mode

AS 678 runs pim dense mode

AS 45 does not run Pim Dense Mode

even a link between AS 123 and 45 and link between AS45 ---AS 678 does
not run PIM

and if enable BGP IPv4 & Multicast peers in as 45 and Links between AS123
& 45 and Links between 45 & 678

Will it work

is it that Multicast BGP will carry the Multicast route and RP information
only

and do we need to enable PIM neighborship between domain or over the link,
when you have Multicast BGP configured
