PIM-SM Limitations
Only one C-RP should be configured per PIM domain. Having multiple C-RPs is not currently supported.
The problem with fragmentation and reassembly of PIM-SM tunneled packets (PIM register-encapsulated
packets fall into this category), is if packets need to be fragmented, it might prevent mcast stream to be
delivered properly. A smaller MTU size would work around this issue.
Upstream Neighbor/Next Hop Debug Commands
Use following debug commands to find an upstream neighbor or to verify next hop.
