PimSplitter

simple module

~PimSplitter module dispatches PIM packets received from the network layer according to the PIM mode of the incoming interface. By using a ~PimSplitter it is possible to build nodes that operate in Dense Mode on some interfaces, and in Sparse Mode on others.

See ~Pim module for example usage.

Inheritance diagram

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

Used in compound modules

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.
