Re: [pim] Sticky PIM DR, should it be added to PIM DR improvements or different draft

Hi

If I understand the dr-improvement draft correctly, it supports sticky
DR as is. Isn't that the main purpose of the draft, aside from also
electing a BDR? The DR Address Option would announce the address of
the sticky DR. Why would you need to announce the priority?

Regards,
Stig

There are providers who do want to use Sticky PIM DR functionality. Since DR improvement talks about Hello options and carry elected PIM DR . There are two options.
