Setting the Register Suppression Timer
The RP sends a register-stop message when it receives native multicast packets
from the DR and there are no downstream routers (receivers) to forward these
packets to
.
The source’s DR stops the outgoing interface from sending further
register packets and sets its register suppression timer. The register suppression
timer determines how long the DR waits before sending register messages back to
the RP.
The register suppression timer times out when the source’s DR no longer receives
any register-stop messages during the timeout period. The source’s DR then
reenables the outgoing interface so that it can send future register packets to the
RP.
By default, PIM sets the register suppression timer to 60 seconds. You can set the
value from 5 through 65,535 seconds (18 hours, 12 minutes, and 15 seconds).
To set the register suppression timer, complete the following tasks:
