Understanding PIM Dense Mode

PIM Dense Mode (Protocol Independent Multicast Dense Mode) is a multicast routing protocol used in network environments to efficiently distribute multicast traffic to all devices within a network segment. In this mode, multicast packets are flooded to all ports within a segment until it is determined which devices are interested in receiving the traffic, enabling the rapid dissemination of multicast data.
