This guide will enable the reader to gain hands on experience with multicast Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) dense mode (DM). It implicitly builds shortest-path trees by flooding multicast traffic domain wide, and then pruning back branches of the tree where no receivers are present.
PIM DM is straightforward to implement but generally has poor scaling properties.

Lab Guides
This guide will enable the reader to gain hands on experience with multicast using Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) sparse mode (SM). PIM-SM explicitly builds unidirectional shared trees rooted at a rendezvous point (RP) per group, and optionally creates shortest-path trees per source.
PIM-SM generally scales fairly well for wide-area usage.
