Re: PIM-Spare - Shared and SPT

One resource that I found very insightful with this technology is
"Developing IP Multicast Networks" by Beau Williamson. Seriously, it is a
small book and will be very very well worth your time to give it a read.
It covers PIM sparse mode in excruciating detail, along with dense mode and
other multicast related things. Some of it is a bit dated, but those
chapters are solid.
