Configuring the SA cache mechanism
To reduce the time spent in obtaining the multicast information, you can enable the SA cache mechanism
to cache (S, G) entries contained in SA messages locally on the router. However, caching (S, G) entries
uses memory space on the router.
When the SA cache mechanism is enabled and the router receives a new (*, G) join message, the router
searches its SA cache first.
If the corresponding (S, G) entry does not exist in the cache, the router waits for the SA message that
its MSDP peer will send in the next cycle.
If the corresponding (S, G) entry exists in the cache, the router joins the corresponding SPT rooted
at S.
To protect the router effectively against denial of service (DoS) attacks, you can set a limit on the number
of (S, G) entries the router can cache.
To configure the SA message cache:
