Common Timers
IPv6 PIM devices discover IPv6 PIM neighbors and maintain IPv6 PIM neighboring
relationships with other devices by periodically sending out hello messages.
Upon receiving a hello message, an IPv6 PIM device waits a random period, which
is equal to or smaller than the maximum delay between hello messages, before
