Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM)

Now CLIENT 3 joins to the 239.1.1.1 group:

The 0.0.0.0/0 above signifies a (*,G) join and is also marked “W” to identify it as a wildcard entry.

If a user enters the pim show route command on R5, a (*,G) state will exist on that router.

Note: R5 shows the register interface as the incoming interface (IIF) and toR3 as the outgoing

interface (OIF). The register interface is used by the RP to decapsulate register messages

and forward them down the RPT tree.
