Multicast - PIM dense vs sparse mode

Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM)


[Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM)](/protocol-independent-multicast-pim) is a [Multicast](/multicast) [routing protocol](/routing-dynamic-routing-protocols) that operates in several modes.  

In sparse-dense mode, [sparse mode](/multicast-pim-sparse-mode) **or** [dense mode](/multicast-pim-dense-mode) can be used for each individual multicast group.
