IPim

module interface

Defines a module interface for Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) routing protocol implementations. PIM is used for multicast routing across IP networks, building distribution trees for multicast data.

Inheritance diagram

The following diagram shows inheritance relationships for this type. Unresolved types are missing from the diagram.

Implemented by

Name	Type	Description
Pim	compound module	Implements the Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) routing protocol for IP multicast. This module integrates both PIM-DM (Dense Mode) and PIM-SM (Sparse Mode) implementations, using a splitter to direct packets to the appropriate mode based on interface configuration. PIM builds distribution trees for efficient multicast data delivery across IP networks.

Used in compound modules

Name	Type	Description
Router	compound module	A network router device with support for multiple routing protocols and network interfaces. Provides the foundation for simulating various types of routers in both wired and wireless networks.
