摘要
Techniques disclosed herein include systems and methods that extend Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) protocols to Shortest Path Bridging (SPB) technology. This includes connecting an IP multicast domain across an SPB network. SPB edge routers, also known as Backbone Edge Bridges, form virtual adjacencies with each other. As such, SPB edge routers maintain such PIM adjacency without sending Hello messages. Backbone Edge Bridges (BEBs) are discovered using null Intermediate System To Intermediate System (IS-IS) Internet Protocol Multicast (IPMC) type-length-value (TLV) control messages. Each PIM-enabled BEB records other PIM-enabled BEBs as an adjacent PIM-router in response to receiving a NULL IPMC TLV from those BEBs. Accordingly, PIM-enabled BEBs form a full mesh virtual adjacency between each other and can thereby encapsulate PIM control messages sent and received between two access networks connected to the SPB network.
