PIM multicast network is very convenient and can be fully applied in applications that provide one-to-many services, such as video conference, online games and real time voice stream, etc. The key point is the share tree environment formed by Rendezvous Point (RP) and Core node. When RP node fails, the share tree network will solve the crash. In this paper, an efficient bootstrap router (BSR) based RP mechanism was proposed to solve the RP recovery problem in share tree network of PIM while the RP fails.
