Scoping Issues on PIM (4) Precise description of proposed restrictions Restriction for Register messages The source and destination addresses of an encapsulated multicast packet in a PIM Register message must not have a smaller scope than the respective scopes of the source and destination addresses of the Register message. Restrictions for Bootstrap messages When a router forwards a Bootstrap message, it should check the scope of the BSR address and should not forward the message on a link that breaks the zone boundary of the scope. A multicast address contained in the message should be removed when the message is forwarded on an interface that belongs to a different scope zone from the zone of an incoming interface. If an RP address for a multicast address contained in the message has a larger scope than the scope of the multicast address, the RP should be ignored and should not be contained in a forwarded message. Restrictions for Candidate-RP-Advertisement messages The unicast RP address stored in a Candidate-RP-Advertisement message should not have a smaller scope than thefrespective scopes of the source and destination addresses of the message. Also, no multicast address associated with the RP should have a smaller scope than the scope of the RP address.
