[pim] PIM state machine queries with network layout diagram with proper diagram



Hello all,

               Sorry about the previous attachment. The diagram wasn’t saved properly. I had emailed the group last week with a query with regard to the PIM state machine. I was asked to send a network layout diagram to the group and give further details of the PIM code used. I have attached the layout of the test-bed along with this email. I should add that the test-bed is connected to the Internet through one of the ports (not shown) on the RP. All the routers used in the test-bed are from Cisco nothing against juniper routers, just that these were the ones that I could get my hands on.

             I have enabled PIM debug on the RP and source’s DR monitor state changes during the PIM Register process. Everything seems to be fine, i.e. I receive content at the receiver and can see all PIM messages on the various subnets but I have a query. Why the following messages were shown at the RP and source’s DR respectively,

 

At Source’s DR,

                PIM(0): Building Periodic Join/Prune message for 224.10.10.1

At RP,

Building Periodic (*,G) Join / (S,G,RP-bit) Prune message for 224.10.10.1

 

These messages are shown periodically after the initial messages about sending, receiving register and register-stop messages. But I don’t see any PIM messages on subnets with regard to the two messages mentioned above on the physical interfaces which I am monitoring using PCs. Any info would be great.

Cheers

Nikhil
