PIM Join Attributes for Locator/ID Separation Protocol Environments

Overview

RFC 8059, “PIM Join Attributes for Locator/ID Separation Protocol Environments”, is an Experimental document published in January 2017 by J. Arango, S. Venaas, I. Kouvelas, D. Farinacci. It has since been updated by RFC 9798. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.

Abstract

This document defines two PIM Join/Prune attributes that support the construction of multicast distribution trees where the root and receivers are located in different Locator/ID Separation Protocol (LISP) sites. These attributes allow the receiver site to select between unicast and multicast underlying transport and to convey the RLOC (Routing Locator) address of the receiver ETR (Egress Tunnel Router) to the control plane of the root ITR (Ingress Tunnel Router).
