JUNOSe 11.1.x Multicast Routing Configuration Guide
DVMRP is a dense-mode multicasting protocol and therefore uses a broadcast and
prune mechanism. The protocol builds a source-rooted tree (SRT) in a similar way
to PIM dense mode. DVMRP routers flood datagrams to all interfaces except the one
that provides the shortest unicast route to the source. DVMRP uses pruning to prevent
unnecessary sending of multicast messages through the SRT.
A DVMRP router sends prune messages to its neighbors if it discovers that:
When a neighbor receives a prune message from a DVMRP router, it removes that
neighbor from its (S,G) pair table, which provides information to the multicast
forwarding table.
When a host on a previously pruned branch attempts to join a multicast group, it
sends an IGMP message to its first-hop router. The first-hop router then sends a graft
message upstream.

Identifying Neighbors

In this implementation of DVMRP, a neighbor is a directly connected DVMRP router.
When you enable DVMRP on an interface, the associated VR adds information about
local networks to its DVMRP routing table. The VR then sends probe messages
periodically to learn about neighbors on each of its interfaces. To ensure compatibility
with other DVMRP routers that do not send probe messages, the VR also updates its
DVMRP routing table when it receives route report messages from such routers.

Advertising Routes

As its name suggests, DVMRP uses a distance-vector routing algorithm. Such
algorithms require that each router periodically inform its neighbors of its routing
table. DVMRP routers advertise routes by sending DVMRP report messages. For each
network path, the receiving router picks the neighbor advertising the lowest cost and
adds that entry to its routing table for future advertisement.
The cost, or metric, for this routing protocol is the hop count back to the source. The
hop count for a network device is the number of routers on the route between the
source and that network device.
Table 6 on page 126 shows an example of the routing table for a DVMRP router.

Overview
The network to which a host is attached has no active members of the multicast
group.
All neighbors, except the next-hop neighbor connected to the source, have pruned
the source and the group.
