    Abstract: Techniques are described for enhancements to Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) to enable a last hop router (LHR) to perform source discovery and directly build or join a source tree. According to the techniques of this disclosure, the LHR builds a communication channel with a rendezvous point (RP) router and requests source information for at least one multicast group for which the LHR has interested receivers. The RP responds to the request by looking into a register database maintained by the RP and sending source information indicating at least one source that is actively providing traffic for the at least one multicast group. Based on the response, the LHR initiates a (S,G) PIM Join message toward the at least one source for the at least one multicast group to directly build or join at least one source tree.

    Abstract: An example method includes exchanging targeted hello messages to establish a targeted neighbor connection between a first routing device and a second routing device, wherein one of the routing devices comprises a central routing device, and wherein another one of the routing devices comprises an ingress routing device. The example method further includes processing a source-active register message that specifies a source address and an identifier that are collectively associated with a multicast stream, and wherein the source-active register message further indicates whether the multicast stream is active or withdrawn. After processing the source-active register message, the example method further includes processing a list-of-receivers register message that specifies an egress routing device and at least the identifier that is associated with the multicast stream, wherein the list-of-receivers register message further indicates whether or not the egress routing device requests receipt of data associated with the multicast stream.

    Abstract: Techniques are described for providing robust control plane asserts in a network using Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) or other routing protocols for controlling delivery of multicast traffic. In one example, a router includes a control unit having a hardware-based processor executing a Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) protocol. The control unit, when executing the PIM protocol, initiates an election process for selecting, from a plurality of routers, a forwarding router to forward multicast traffic to a shared media computer network. In addition, the control unit determines whether the multicast traffic has been received by the router and outputs, in association with the election process, a PIM assert message that includes an indication as to whether the router has successfully received the multicast traffic.
