Hi GyanIt is a good solution to construct two SPT trees by DR and BDR. The fast switching on the forwarding plane can effectively solve the DR fault convergence speed.

4.d scene still has problems (mail is not a monospace character by default, the figure is somewhat deformed), because the states of both R1 and R2 are DR, using the previous method may not get ms level convergence. The best solution is to establish a neighbor in time through the peer bfd aware link up, and then the BDR continues to forward until the interface receives the traffic of the group and then modifies the forwarding state of the out interface of the sg/xg.





Thank you！

Hi Benchong
I agree that we should implement in the forwarding plane and not control plane where we can tune the pim timers down with BFD to ms for close to hitless convergence and also not dependent on sending joins upstream SPT tree MRIB/MFIB status to start forwarding.

Also agree that with this draft it helps with preemptions with higher priority router taking over as DR instability.  So this draft along with PIM BFD we can optimize convergence.

With the IGMP querier state table since that is depending on control plane responses to general query is there any way BFD can speed up that process if we put in the forwarding plane in hardware.  

Also was wondering an idea if we made the DR a floating Service IP like an anycast IP that is active on both routes allowing traffic to be forwarded load shared to both DR/BDR running active/active similar to an MLAG or Cisco Nexus vPC scenario load balancing so that traffic convergence is eliminated since we are now forwarding joins to both DR and BDR for ASM tree and 2 SPT trees get build on both last hop routers DR and BDR to the source.  That would I think make convergence hitless.

Hi Gyan

According to the actual situation encountered before, the last hop of PIM quickly switching, the following scenarios need to be considered.




Source network

|          |

R1        R2

|          |

------------

     |

    Host

	

1.R1 is DR, When R1 or interface of R1 to R2 get down, R2 should forward stream as quickly as posible.

This can be down in help of bfd.

If we do this in forwarding plane， packet loss time depends on bfd detection time.

And if we do this in control plane， packet loss time will be longer due to the time of sending join to upstream and updating the device entries.




2.Then R1 up again, DR change back to R1，but there is no mechanism to ensure that igmp members can learn synchronously. 

This draft will help to keep R2 foward stream，and there is no packet loss.

Or DR changing back delay, which will result in packet loss or double stream, and we do not recommend.




Source network

|    |     |

R1   R2    R3

|    |     |

------------

     |

    Host




3.A new pim router R3 joins the network. There is the same problem as above 2, the solution is the same.




Source network

|          |

R1         R2

|          |

L2-SW1     L2-SW4

|          |

L2-SW2-----L2-SW3

|          |

Host       Host




4.L3 PIM routers R1(DR) R2 connected by lots of L2 switchs L2-SW, and every L2-SW has igmp members. 

a. R1 to L2-SW1 Link down, R2 should forward stream quickly.Same solution as 1.

b. R1 to L2-SW1 Link up again. Same solution as 2.

c. L2-SW2 to L2-SW3 link down. R1 keep forward stream to L2-SW1 L2-SW2, and R2 forward stream to L2-SW4 L2-SW3. Same solution as 1.

d. L2-SW2 to L2-SW3 link up again. We should try to ensure that neighbors are established and igmp members learn to synchronize no matter who takes over the forwarding. R1 and R2 should build peer BFD when there are pim NBR at the beginning, and perceive remote link up according to bfd up event, trigger pim hello and igmp query to send synchronously.





Thank you！

Mankamana 

I agree we can move forward with publishing this document and I can work with you on a PIM BFD Draft.

Thank you
