Abstract
In certain implementations, a border VTEP device sends, to a second border VTEP devices, a first PIM-SM hello message indicating the border VTEP device is a local RP in a first fabric of a VxLAN. The border VTEP device receives a second PIM-SM hello message indicating that the second border VTEP devices is a local RP in a second fabric. A first PIM-SM control message is sent to the second border VTEP device, indicating PIM-SM sources in the first fabric, including a first PIM-SM source. A second PIM-SM control message is received from the second border VTEP device indicating PIM-SM sources in the second fabric. A PIM-SM join message specifying the first PIM-SM source is received from a receiver DR for a PIM-SM receiver. A PIM-SM data stream is forwarded from a source DR to the receiver DR.
