Term of the day: Protocol-Independent Multicast

Abbreviated PIM, a multicasting routing protocol that runs over an existing unicast infrastructure. There are two variations of PIM:

PIM-SM -- Short for PIM-Sparse Mode, which is used when recipients are scattered over a large area.
PIM-DM -- Short for PIM-Dense Mode, which is used when the targeted recipients are in a concentrated area.
