Hi All,

       I just submitted the below draft to propose a standard mechanism to identify a PIM neighbor for a multicast channel when an ECMP route is used for a source/RP.

       Please review the same and let us know your comments.

Regards,
Bharat

Abstract:
   A Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) router uses local forwarding
   table to select the upstream PIM neighbor towards the source or
   Rendezvous Point (RP).  A router need to choose one upstream PIM
   neighbor from the list of PIM neighbors if the route for a source or
   RP is an Equal Cost Multipath (ECMP) route.  Currently PIM routers
   use vendor specific algorithm to choose one neighbor.  This may lead
   to unnecessary wastage of network resources.  This draft first
   explains the need for a standard algorithm to select a PIM neighbor
   with ECMP route and then suggest such an algorithm.
