Configure the core so that customer multicast traffic is only delivered to PEs that have interested receivers. In other words, only PEs that have (*, G) or (S, G) state in the C-PIM for that group.

To verify, join group 239.21.21.21 on C3, and ping this from C2 with size 1400 and timeout 1. This will create a flow that exceeds 1kbps.

Answer

This works the same as with profile 3. Configuration is the same, and the data MDT switchover happens using the type 3 route.

#PE1, PE2
vrf def CUSTOMER
 add ipv4
  mdt data 232.1.100.0 0.0.0.255
  mdt data threshold 1

#PE3
multicast-routing
 vrf CUSTOMER
  add ipv4
   mdt data 232.1.100.0/24 threshold 1

Verification

Ping 239.31.31.31 from C2, which C3 has joined. PE2 will send a type 3 route indicating that it is switching over to the new data MDT group.

This is no different than we saw with S-PMSI in profile 3. The only difference between profile 3 and profile 11 is that the PEs don’t form C-PIM adjacencies in profile 11. The data MDT P-PIM group is signaled via BGP ipv4/mvpn route type 3 in both cases. Remember that in profile 0, the data MDT is signaled via the default MDT as a UDP message.
