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).
z
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.
