Figure 1. Configuring and Using PIM-DM
PIM-DM uses the existing unicast routing table and join, prune, and graft mechanism to build
a tree. PIM-DM creates source-based shortest-path distribution trees making use of reverse
path forwarding (RPF). PIM-DM cannot be used to build a shared distribution tree, as
PIM-SM can. PIM-DM assumes that when a sender starts sending data, all downstream
routers and hosts want to receive a multicast datagram. PIM-DM initially floods multicast
traffic throughout the network. Routers that do not have any downstream neighbors prune
back the unwanted traffic. Apart from the prune messages, PIM-DM makes use of two more
messages: graft and assert. Graft messages are used whenever a new host wants to join the
group. Assert messages are used to shut off duplicate flows onto the same multi-access
network.

To minimize the repeated flooding of datagrams and subsequent pruning associated with a
particular (S,G) pair, PIM-DM uses a state refresh message. This message is sent by the
routers directly connected to the source and is propagated throughout the network. When
