Re: Multicast Sparse mode

Kalpesh,

One more thing you've taken into your consideration, for pim SPARSE OR DENSE mode you can't install (S,G) unless you have (*,G) for any group. The only case that isn't apply for the above rule is either Source specific multicast (SSM) or Bidirectional pim.

SSM install ONLY (S,G) no (*,G)
Bidi pim install ONLY (*,G) no (S,G)

HTH,
