This chapter introduces MSDP (Multicast Source Discovery Protocol), an interdomain multicast protocol used to connect multiple multicast routing domains that run PIM-SM (Protocol Independent Multicast-Sparse Mode). This chapter discusses the features and configuration for PIM border, MSDP peers, mesh groups, anycast RP, SA cache, redundancy, and SNMP MIBs.
Note
For more information about MSDP, refer to RFC 3618.
