4.7.3 DVMRP

Distance Vector Multicast Routing Protocol is used to route multicast traffic to nodes which have requested a specific

multicast service via IGMP. To configure DVMRP, you must specify the routing metric, probe interval, and neighbor router

timeout.

DVMRP Overview -

„

Base on Distance Vector

Similar to RIP

Infinity = 32 hops

„

DVMRP uses the IGMP to exchange routing datagram

IP Protocol 0x02 (IGMP)

IGMP type 0x13 (DVMRP)

„

Similar to PIM DM

Broadcast and Prune operation

Uses DVMRP route table for RPF check

„

Route

Table

Build source distribution trees

Perform multicast forwarding (RPF checks)

Periodic route updates (every 60 Seconds)

„

Concept of Virtual interfaces

Physical: Ethernet, FDDI, Token Ring

Tunnels: IP-in-IP tunnels

DVMRP Probe messages are periodically multicast to the all DVMRP Routers group address (224.0.0.4).

Once you have received a Probe from a neighbor that contains your address in the neighbor list, your have established

a two-way neighbor adjacency with this router.
