Re: [pim] Publishing draft-ietf-pim-dr-improvement-08

PIM WG

In reviewing the draft I agree this is a much needed for PIM stability to prevent preemption from occurring when a PIM neighbor comes up with a higher priority.

I have seen this scenario come up many times and had caused many multicast outages over the years with PIM being enabled accidentally on a terminal server or L2 switch for a vlan and had a higher IP address and became the DR or had a higher priority configured and became the DR.

Is there a way to have a DR priority 0 to make the device non DR eligible similar to ospf DR priority 0.

I had posted PIM BFD spec from the BFD WG which helps tune down PIM timers to sub millisecond convergence which helps to get hitless convergence for LAN multipoint scenario and for MVPN, however this draft is critical to provide LHR DR stability and prevent DR preemption from occurring.  Also adding the role priority DR/BDR state I think also adds to faster convergence when the DR goes down.

In environments where MLAG or like Cisco proprietary vPC is used forwarding happens to both DR and BDR active/active state which is very common have PIM MRIB MFIB state on both routers so is that addressed how that would work in the draft. 

Also was wondering in the case of active backup for faster convergence is it possible for both DR and BDR to have their MRIB MFIB state table built for ASM SPT tree and with PIM BFD tuned down timers so that convergence becomes hitless.
