Figure 33-1. Multicast Flooding in a PIM-DM Network
Refusing Multicast Traffic
If a PIM-DM router has no receivers for a group, it refuses multicast traffic by sending a PIM Prune
message to address 224.0.0.13 out of the source interface. The upstream neighbor receives the prune
message and determines if it has any remaining neighbors downstream. If it does not, it propagates the
prune message upstream out of the source interface. Likewise, all remaining routers between the receiver
and the source independently determine whether to propagate the prune message until no router receives
unwanted traffic for the (S,G).

selected path) also generates a prune message.
