What mechanism does PIM use to forward multicast traffic?
What mechanism does PIM use to forward multicast traffic?
PIM sparse mode uses a pull model to deliver multicast traffic. In this mode, multicast data is only forwarded to network segments that have requested it, thus avoiding unnecessary flooding of the network.
It seems C is trick question because Receivers use join messages or membership reports, while Register messages are for Sources...
true, so A is correct answer
It actually disturbs me a little that the OCG neglects to cover this level of detail in A LOT of topics in the exams, yet it is still recommended. My opinion, it should be disregarded and the real advise given to test takers to just start with RFCs, White Papers, Labs and you will do better than making yourself believe that the OCG is actually a helpful tool. It gives false hope that you actually learned anything about the technologies being tested.
"PIM sparse mode (PIM-SM) uses a pull model to deliver multicast traffic. Only network segments with active receivers that have explicitly requested the data will receive the traffic." https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/ios-xml/ios/ipmulti_pim/configuration/xe-16-5/imc-pim-xe-16-5-book/imc-tech-oview.html
of course this wasnt mentioned in the OCG :D no single word "push" or "pull" through 30 pages. however solution is: PIM sparse mode: this is a “pull” model where we only forward multicast traffic when requested. PIM dense mode: this is a “push” model where we flood multicast traffic everywhere and then prune it when it’s not needed.
it's crazy that after buying the OCG and reading it, you get questions that are not even covered in there. Like WTH!!!
