Multi-Topology in PIM

streamIETF grouppim stateactive pages11 rev00 expires2026-09-16 canonicalhttps://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-pim-flex-algo/
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.
