Multi-Topology in PIM
PIM usually uses the shortest path computed by routing protocols to
build multicast tree. Multi-Topology Routing is a technology to
enable service differentiation within an IP network. IGP Flex
Algorithm provides a way to compute constraint-based paths over the
network. This document defines the PIM message extensions to provide
a way to build multicast tree through the specific topology and
constraint-based path instead of the shortest path.
