Multicast Source Discovery Protocol (MSDP) is a protocol used to distribute multicast source information between Protocol Independent Multicast sparse mode (PIM-SM) domains.
MSDP Definition: Multicast Source Discovery Protocol (MSDP) is a protocol used to distribute multicast source information between Protocol Independent Multicast sparse mode (PIM-SM) domains.
MSDP (Multicast Source Discovery Protocol) is a protocol used in multicast-enabled networks to efficiently determine active sources for multicast group traffic. It assists in building multicast distribution trees by identifying the shortest path from a source to receivers, optimizing data transmission in multicast environments.
