Multicast Source Discovery Protocol
(MSDP)
Multicast source discovery protocol (MSDP) connects multiple PIM Sparse-Mode (PIM-SM) domains
together.
MSDP peers connect using TCP port 639. Peers send keepalives every 60 seconds. A peer connection is
reset after 75 seconds if no MSDP packets are received. MSDP connections are parallel with MBGP
connections.
The Dell Networking operating system supports MSDP commands on the Z9000 platform.
