Configuring PIM common timers
PIM routers discover PIM neighbors and maintain PIM neighboring relationships with other routers by
periodically sending out hello messages.
After receiving a hello message, a PIM router waits a random period, which is smaller than the maximum
delay between hello messages, before sending a hello message. This delay avoids collisions that occur
when multiple PIM routers send hello messages simultaneously.
A PIM router periodically sends join/prune messages to its upstream for state update. A join/prune
message contains the join/prune timeout time. The upstream router sets a join/prune timeout timer for
each pruned downstream interface.
Any router that has lost assert election will prune its downstream interface and maintain the assert state
for a period of time. When the assert state times out, the assert losers will resume multicast forwarding.
When a router fails to receive subsequent multicast data from multicast source S, the router does not
immediately delete the corresponding (S, G) entry. Instead, it maintains the (S, G) entry for a period of
time—namely, the multicast source lifetime—before deleting the (S, G) entry.
